[PATCH] mips: cma: Do not reserve memory if not required

From: Zubair Lutfullah Kakakhel
Date: Tue Oct 28 2014 - 07:30:44 EST


Even if CMA is disabled, the for_each_memblock macro expands
to run reserve_bootmem once. Hence, reserve_bootmem attempts to
reserve location 0 of size 0.

Add a check to avoid that.

Issue was highlighted during testing with EVA enabled.
resrve_bootmem used to exit gracefully when passed arguments to
reserve 0 size location at 0 without EVA.

But with EVA enabled, macros would point to different addresses
and the code would trigger a BUG.
