fdt: Fix bug in size calculation in fdt_resize() with initrd use
Original bug description from Feng (fdt_resize() bug caused "WARNING: could not set linux, initrd-start FDT_ERR_NOSPACE."): What I got is an error: "WARNING: could not set linux,initrd-start FDT_ERR_NOSPACE." after loading Device Tree blob. This in turn caused linux to miss init part. After some digging, I found out the reason for this error, it is caused by fdt_resize(). FDT blob got resized after filling in all board specific information of PowerPC. (in boot_body_linux()). It reduced blob size with only extra space for two fdt_reserve_entry, one for fdt itself, and one for initrd. Then it's aligned to a 0x1000 page boundary. However, later in fdt_initrd(), it could add two more properties, initrd-start AND initrd-end, each one needs at least two fdt_reserve_entry sizes done by _fdt_add_property() (name and value). Thus, the two fdt_reserve_entry extra space is not sufficient. So for some specific fdt size which is just under the page boundary after resizing, this will cause an error of FDT_ERR_NOSPACE in fdt_initrd() when setting those two properties, and failed to pass initrd information to linux. My fix is in fdt_resize(), leave at least 4 fdt_reserve_entry for initrd. So instead of 2*sizeof(struct fdt_reserve_entry) for actual_totalsize, use 5*sizeof(struc fdt_reserve_entry). Stefan: I got this same error on katmai, when trying to boot with initrd (run flash_self). This patch fixes this issue.
