Ben,

Thanks for the patch.  A few comments below.

Thanks for including this.  We have a new tag we are using now to
incorporate this information to be included after your SoB.  I've added
it below.

Fixes: 65939301acdb (arm: set initrd_start/initrd_end for fdt scan)

This commit was only introduced in v3.13-rc1 so we shouldn't need the
stable tag.  Unless v3.13 drops before Russell gets a chance to merge
it.

This line shouldn't be necessary.  Both are reset in the following hunk
below your change:

if (phys_initrd_size) {
	memblock_reserve(phys_initrd_start, phys_initrd_size);

	/* Now convert initrd to virtual addresses */
	initrd_start = __phys_to_virt(phys_initrd_start);
	initrd_end = initrd_start + phys_initrd_size;
}

With the above line removed,
