Hmm.  Yes, the code unconditionally calls of_flat_dt_scan(), which will
gladly touch initial_boot_params, even though it may be uninitialized.
The below patch should allow these boards to boot...

However, I'm wondering if there is a good reason why we don't parse the
/reserved-memory nodes at the right after we parse the /memory nodes as
part of early_init_dt_scan()...

Thanks,
  Josh
