Thanks Laura for the pointer. In case of error, I am getting some random
memblock_add() calls from drivers/of/fdt.c:early_init_dt_scan_memory.

The issue seems to be from u-boot, where it is not updating the memory
subnode properly. I have got a fix for the u-boot, which I am testing
right now. I will update tomorrow after I do some more test.

Additional changes in kernel.
