Hello,
I have some trouble with this patch.
It seems the intention is to allow CMA to be placed in highmem. If the
CMA area is larger than highmem and no alloc-ranges is specified (just a
size) it is possible to end up allocating a area that spans from
multiple zones. This later breaks checks in cma_activate_area and makes
most dma allocations fail.
Am I missing something or this a bug?

early_init_dt_alloc_reserved_memory_arch passes end as 0 to
__memblock_alloc_base, when limits are not specified. But
__memblock_alloc_base takes end value of 0 as MEMBLOCK_ALLOC_ACCESSIBLE
and limits the end to memblock.current_limit. This results in regions
never being placed in HIGHMEM area, for e.g. CMA.
Let __memblock_alloc_base allocate from anywhere in memory if limits are
not specified.
