The missing NULL terminator can cause a panic on

  Kernel panic - not syncing: Attempted to kill the idle task!

The panic happens since commit 9597abe0
(sections: fix section conflicts in arch/powerpc), however the root
cause of this is that the NULL terminator were not added in commit
a4f740cf

 (of/flattree: Add of_flat_dt_match()
helper function).
