It can be either. The above code was a merge of arm64 and powerpc both
of which use 64-bit and still only runs on those arches. It looks like
some powerpc platforms may use 32-bit, but this would have been broken
before.
The code in drivers/of/fdt.c handles either case. We should probably
refactor early_init_dt_check_for_initrd() and this function to use a
common routine.

We should fix that.
