Subject: [PATCH] arm64: fix address fault during mapping fdt region

fdt_check_header() accesses other fileds of fdt header but
the first 8 bytes such as version; so accessing unmapped
address fault happens if fdt region locates below align
boundary nearly during mapping fdt region, or expressed as
(offset + sizeof(struct fdt_header)) > SWAPPER_BLOCK_SIZE

fdt header size at least is mapped in order to avoid the issue

Couldn't we simply do this instead?

We are simply looking for a size field. The OF code will call
fdt_check_header() again, so anything that is checked there in
addition to the magic field will still be checked.
