[PATCH] of/fdt: Allow memory node and root to have different size/address cells

From: Vineet Gupta
Date: Thu Oct 01 2015 - 07:30:21 EST


Currently memory node parsing uses root "#size-cells", "#address-cells"
This doesn't work correctly when memory address/size is different or
greater than root's.

e.g. ARC 32-bit systems implementing physical adressing extension and
say 4GB of memory. All peripherals mappings stay within the 4GB (so root
address/size cells remain 1 each), only the memory node address/size
cells needs to specify greater than 32-bits as below

memory {
device_type = "memory";
reg = <0x0 0x80000000 0x1 0x00000000>; /* 4 GB */
#address-cells = <2>;
#size-cells = <2>;
};

This patch lets me boot a ARC system with PAE40 + 4GB of memory specified
as above and fails to boot otherwise as memory parsing doesn't populate
right base, size.
