It's that return that is the problem.

Now that early_init_dt_scan_memory_ppc() is only called once, that
return causes us to skip scanning regular memory nodes if there is an
"ibm,dynamic-reconfiguration-memory" property present.

So the fix is just:

diff --git a/arch/powerpc/kernel/prom.c b/arch/powerpc/kernel/prom.c
index 1098de3b172f..125661e5fcf3 100644

-	if (node > 0) {
+	if (node > 0)
 		walk_drmem_lmbs_early(node, NULL, early_init_drmem_lmb);

 #endif
 	
 	return early_init_dt_scan_memory();

I don't know of any machines where that would be a problem. But given
all the wild and wonderful device trees out there, who really knows :)

Maybe we should continue to allow memory nodes to be anywhere, and print
a warning for any that aren't at the root. Then if no one reports any
hits for the warning we could switch to only allowing them at the root?

cheers
