I think it would better to go here for phys_addr_t instead of u64. This
would force you in of_flat_dt_match() to check if the value passed from
DT specifies a memory address outside of 32bit address space and the
kernel can't deal with this because its phys_addr_t is 32bit only due
to a Kconfig switch.
For x86, the initrd has to remain in the 32bit address space so passing
the initrd in the upper range would violate the ABI. Not sure if this
is true for other archs as well (ARM obviously not).
