Thanks for working on this. Unfortunately it breaks boot for at least a
32r6el_defconfig kernel on QEMU:
$ qemu-system-mips64el \
-M boston \
-kernel arch/mips/boot/vmlinux.gz.itb \
-serial stdio \
-append "earlycon=uart8250,mmio32,0x17ffe000,115200 console=ttyS0,115200 debug memblock=debug mminit_loglevel=4"

It looks like we took a TLB store exception after calling memset() with
a bogus address from memblock_virt_alloc_try_nid() or something inlined
into it.
This was with your patch applied atop the mips-next branch from [1],
which is currently at commit 35d017947401 ("MIPS: ralink: Add rt3352
SPI_CS1 pinmux").
Thanks,
Paul
