This patch landed in todays linux-next (20201203) as commit 8678b27f4b8b 
("8678b27f4b8bfc130a13eb9e9f27171bcd8c0b3b"). Sadly it breaks booting of 
ANY of my ARM 32bit test systems, which use initrd. ARM64bit based 
systems boot fine. Here is example of the crash:

Waiting 2 sec before mounting root device...
RAMDISK: squashfs filesystem found at block 0
RAMDISK: Loading 37861KiB [1 disk] into ram disk... /
/
/
/
done.
using deprecated initrd support, will be removed in 2021.

I suppose this issue can be also reproduced with qemu.
