[PATCH 1/4] fdt: Do not reserve device tree blob

[Sascha Hauer]

As a matter of fact the reservation is buggy. fdt_add_reserve_map()
added the reservation for the address the fdt currently is placed,
but the fdt is relocated in bootm_load_devicetree() later. This means
we just add a reserve region for some arbitrary piece of memory which
can equally well be removed.

Linux doesn't require reserving the device tree blob. Some architectures
use early_init_fdt_reserve_self() to mark the fdt as reserved, some like
arm64 use architecture code to reserve the region, others like arm move
the fdt away.
