Would it help if we make this behavior dependent on a simple heuristic, e.g.,
if (round_up(load_address, 128M) >= dram_end)
use dram_start from DT
else
use round_up(load_address, 128M)
That way, the fix is guaranteed to only take effect for systems that
cannot even boot otherwise, which fixes the crashkernel case, as well
as other potential regressions due to the load address of the core
kernel changing for existing boards.
