Hi,
During work lift the software and kernel versions on our custom TI
am3352 board I started to see lockdep warnings after enabling
CONFIG_PREEMT. Lockdep seems to think the memory that previously was
initmem is static memory. I'm using linux 5.4, as that is what is used
in the next OpenWrt version.

alloc_netdev_mqs+0xb4/0x3b0
I guess CONFIG_PREEMT just changes the timing of allocations, and is
otherwise irrelevant.
This was fixed for s390 in linux 5.2 commit
7a5da02de8d6eafba99556f8c98e5313edebb449 by adding the function
arch_is_kernel_initmem_freed(). Later a very similar change was made for
powerpc, and a different solution for x86. I now believe that is needed
for arm as well. Though I don't know the inner workings of arm memory
management so I don't know if an identical solution to s390 will do for
arm, but my experiments suggests it works for am335x. The commit message
for s390 says "virt == phys", but that seems not to be the case for my
arm system.
