Two comments below, but otherwise:

Can you do it this way instead:

#ifdef CONFIG_HAVE_MEMBLOCK
void __init __weak early_init_dt_add_memory_arch(u64 base, u64 size)
{
	base &= PAGE_MASK;
	size &= PAGE_MASK;
	memblock_add(base, size);
}
#endif

If the platform doesn't provide an early_init_dt_add_memory_arch()
function and it doesn't have a memblock implementation, then the build
should outright fail. I don't see a scenario where we would want to
successfully build the kernel without a working add memory function.

Also, can you group this function with the common __weak
early_init_dt_alloc_memory_arch() implementation? It would be good to
group all the memblock specific functions together.
