Call early_fdt_scan_reserved_mem() in place of
early_init_fdt_scan_reserved_mem() to carry out the first stage of the
reserved memory processing only.

The early_fdt_scan_reserved_mem() function is used to scan through the
DT and mark all the reserved memory regions as reserved or nomap as
needed, as well as allocate the memory required by the
dynamically-placed
reserved memory regions.

The second stage of the reserved memory processing is done by
fdt_init_reserved_mem(). This function is used to store the information
of the statically-placed reserved memory nodes in the reserved_mem
array as well as call the region specific initialization function on all
the stored reserved memory regions.

The call to fdt_init_reserved_mem() is placed right after
early_fdt_scan_reserved_mem() because memblock allocated memory should
already be writable at this point.

Looking at the sh code, there's an existing problem with the order of
init. This is called from paging_init() and is done after unflattening
and copying the DT. That means the kernel could freely allocate memory
for the DT in a reserved region.

Hi Rob,

Yes I agree! I can try to restructure the code to address
this. I think we should be able to move the call to
early_init_fdt_scan_reserved_mem() higher in the init
sequence without having any issues.

Will try this out and see.

Regards,
Oreoluwa
