This reverts commit 3fa6456ebe.
The Commit broke the CMA region creation through DT on arm64,
as showed below logs with "memblock=debug":
[ 0.000000] memblock_phys_alloc_range: 41943040 bytes align=0x200000
from=0x0000000000000000 max_addr=0x00000000ffffffff
early_init_dt_alloc_reserved_memory_arch+0x34/0xa0
[ 0.000000] memblock_reserve: [0x00000000fd600000-0x00000000ffdfffff]
memblock_alloc_range_nid+0xc0/0x19c
[ 0.000000] Reserved memory: overlap with other memblock reserved region
>From call flow, region we defined in DT was always reserved before entering
into rmem_cma_setup. Also, rmem_cma_setup has one routine cma_init_reserved_mem
to ensure the region was reserved. Checking the region not reserved here seems
not correct.
early_init_fdt_scan_reserved_mem:
fdt_scan_reserved_mem
__reserved_mem_reserve_reg
early_init_dt_reserve_memory
memblock_reserve(using “reg” prop case)
fdt_init_reserved_mem
__reserved_mem_alloc_size
*early_init_dt_alloc_reserved_memory_arch*
memblock_reserve(dynamic alloc case)
__reserved_mem_init_node
rmem_cma_setup(region overlap check here should always fail)
Example DT can be used to reproduce issue:
dump_mem: mem_dump_region {
compatible = "shared-dma-pool";
alloc-ranges = <0x0 0x00000000 0x0 0xffffffff>;
reusable;
size = <0 0x2800000>;
};

Linux kernel
============
There are several guides for kernel developers and users. These guides can
be rendered in a number of formats, like HTML and PDF. Please read
Documentation/admin-guide/README.rst first.
In order to build the documentation, use ``make htmldocs`` or
``make pdfdocs``. The formatted documentation can also be read online at:
https://www.kernel.org/doc/html/latest/
There are various text files in the Documentation/ subdirectory,
several of them using the Restructured Text markup notation.
Please read the Documentation/process/changes.rst file, as it contains the
requirements for building and running the kernel, and information about
the problems which may result by upgrading your kernel.
