Starting with following patch MIPS Malta is not able to boot:
| commit 79edff12060fe7772af08607eff50c0e2486c5ba
| Author: Rob Herring <robh@xxxxxxxxxx>
| scripts/dtc: Update to upstream version v1.6.0-51-g183df9e9c2b9
The reason is the alignment test added to the fdt_ro_probe_(). To fix
this issue, we need to make sure that fdt_buf is aligned.
Since the dtc patch was designed to uncover potential issue, I handle
initial MIPS Malta patch as initial bug.
Fixes: e81a8c7dabac ("MIPS: Malta: Setup RAM regions via DT")
