Where did this value come from? A comment would be useful.

You have a mixture of things inside and outside of
CONFIG_OF_EARLY_FLATTREE which in theory could cause warnings. However
looking more closely at this, it is fine for now. Instead I think we
need to get rid of CONFIG_OF_EARLY_FLATTREE (or merge with
OF_FLATTREE) . Every platform selects it except Sparc.
