"linux,initrd-start" and "linux,initrd-end" can be 32-bit values even on
a 64-bit platform. Ideally, the size should be based on
'#address-cells', but that has never been enforced in the kernel's FDT
boot parsing code (early_init_dt_check_for_initrd()). Bootloader
behavior is known to vary. For example, kexec always writes these as
64-bit. The result of incorrectly reading 32-bit values is most likely
the reserved memory for the original initrd will still be reserved
for the new kernel. The original arm64 equivalent of this code failed to
release the initrd reserved memory in *all* cases.
Use of_read_number() to mirror the early_init_dt_check_for_initrd()
code.

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.
