I feel bad making this comment since only one of us is a native speaker,
but for the future would you mind breaking up overly long sentences like
the above? Say:

	Now that the dtb early mapping was moved in the fixmap region, we can
	keep using this address since it is present in swapper_pg_dir, and
	remove the dtb relocation.
	The relocation was wrong anyway since early_memremap() is restricted to
	256K whereas the maximum fdt size is 2MB.

btw, how come it is safe now to drop this? This feels like a separate
change that should be its own commit, no?

Cheers,
Conor.
