Nit: Using the DT acronym is very confusing here, as it means "Device
Tree" to most people, including me. Please use "Device Table" instead.

Also, the reference to kmalloc is wrong, as we're really using the page
allocator.

Something is wrong here. Either (order == MAX_ORDER) is acceptable, or
it is not. Also, your warning says that you're reducing the size to a
new value, but you're displaying the size you can't handle. That
message should be fixed.
