Same thing here with "S-o-b: Julien" vs. authorship.

Should we check for alignment of the base address here as well? It definitely needs to be at least page aligned.
But even then: -m 512@0x87654000 doesn't really go anywhere, I needed 1MB alignment for Linux to boot.
But that's probably a Linux restriction. Maybe a warning if the lower 20 bits are not zero?

I think coding style dictates no "else" if the "if" statement always terminates (return or goto).

And you could move this up, so that you check for bail outs first:
	if (*next == '\0')
		goto out;

	if (*next != '@')
		die();

	p = next + 1;
	...

Should this #ifndef cover more of the parsing routine? It looks a bit weird to first do all the work and then throw it away.
And can we somehow avoid the #ifdef at all? Maybe replacing it with a proper "if" statement? To integrate into the conditions above:
	if (!IS_ENABLED(ARCH_SUPPORT_CFG_RAM_BASE) || *next != '@')
		die();

Cheers,
Andre.
