As Rob said in response to 0/3, the MIPSs would likely not be affected,
since they embed the DT.

There are still a few mentions of it under arch/powerpc/, so I wouldn't
want to be the one to kill it off...
How about the below v2 3/3 to address the ARM platform?
Regards,
Leif

Subject: [PATCH] of: arm: powerpc: Restrict memory at 0 node handling to
affected platforms
In order to deal with a firmware bug on a specific ppc32 platform
(longtrail), early_init_dt_scan_memory() looks for a node called
memory at 0 on all platforms, for all nodes lacking a device_type.
Restrict this quirk to ppc32 and the arm mach-ux500 platforms (one of
which has depended on this special handling).
