[PATCH v2] of: fdt: Fix the len check in early_init_dt_check_for_elfcorehdr()
From: Yuntao Wang
Date: Wed Nov 05 2025 - 04:02:16 EST
The len value is in bytes, while `dt_root_addr_cells + dt_root_size_cells`
is in cells (4 bytes per cell).
Comparing them directly is incorrect. Convert units before comparison.
Fixes: f7e7ce93aac1 ("of: fdt: Add generic support for handling elf core headers property")
Fixes: e62aaeac426ab1dd ("arm64: kdump: provide /proc/vmcore file")
