Subject: nios2: reserve boot memory for device tree
From: Tobias Klauser <tklauser@distanz.ch>
commit 921d701e6f31e1ffaca3560416af1aa04edb4c4f upstream.
Make sure to reserve the boot memory for the flattened device tree.
Otherwise it might get overwritten, e.g. when initial_boot_params is
copied, leading to a corrupted FDT and a boot hang/crash:
bootconsole [early0] enabled
Early console on uart16650 initialized at 0xf8001600
OF: fdt: Error -11 processing FDT
Kernel panic - not syncing: setup_cpuinfo: No CPU found in devicetree!
---[ end Kernel panic - not syncing: setup_cpuinfo: No CPU found in devicetree!
