N900 v3.19-rc5 arm atags_to_fdt.c is broken

I would say, problem is because omap3-n900 binary DT is too large

I agree.

OK if that's the case, then your patch makes sense to me. It also
seems we can have the temporary stack be larger than the initial
stack just for atags_to_fdt.

The stack size isn't the issue, but rather its location.  We need to 
position it away from the DT data.  The DT size is known and we could 
use that, plus some room for the insertion of new data coming from the
ATAG conversion.

Something like the following would be a more robust solution:

diff --git a/arch/arm/boot/compressed/head.S b/arch/arm/boot/compressed/head.S
