[PATCH] arch: mips: Fix initrd_start and initrd_end when read from DT

[Horatiu Vultur]

When the bootloader passes arguments to linux kernel through device tree,
it passes the address of initrd_start and initrd_stop, which are in kseg0.
But when linux kernel reads these addresses from device tree, it converts
them to virtual addresses inside the function
__early_init_dt_declare_initrd.

At a later point then in the function init_initrd, it is checking for
initrd_start to be lower than PAGE_OFFSET, which for a 32 CPU it is not,
therefore it would disable the initrd by setting 0 to initrd_start and
initrd_stop.

The fix consists of checking if linux kernel received a device tree and not
having enable extended virtual address and in that case convert them back
to physical addresses that point in kseg0 as expected.
