Currently, the start address of physical memory is obtained by masking the program counter with a fixed mask of 0xf8000000. This mask value was chosen as a balance between the requirements of different platforms. However, this does require that the start address of physical memory is a multiple of 128 MiB, precluding booting Linux on platforms where this requirement is not fulfilled. Fix this limitation by validating the masked address against the memory information in the passed DTB. Only use the start address from DTB when masking would yield an out-of-range address, prefer the traditional method in all other cases. Note that this applies only to the explicitly passed DTB on modern systems, and not to a DTB appended to the kernel, or to ATAGS. The appended DTB may need to be augmented by information from ATAGS, which may need to rely on knowledge of the start address of physical memory itself. This allows to boot Linux on r7s9210/rza2mevb using the 64 MiB of SDRAM on the RZA2MEVB sub board, which is located at 0x0C000000 (CS3 space), i.e. not at a multiple of 128 MiB.

README
Linux kernel
============
There are several guides for kernel developers and users. These guides can
be rendered in a number of formats, like HTML and PDF. Please read
Documentation/admin-guide/README.rst first.
In order to build the documentation, use ``make htmldocs`` or
``make pdfdocs``. The formatted documentation can also be read online at:
https://www.kernel.org/doc/html/latest/
There are various text files in the Documentation/ subdirectory,
several of them using the Restructured Text markup notation.
Please read the Documentation/process/changes.rst file, as it contains the
requirements for building and running the kernel, and information about
the problems which may result by upgrading your kernel.
