Yes, I tried this ramdisk, and I can reproduce fail issue.

MT8135 allocate 10MB for BOOT partition, but the test boot.img is 11MB,
thus cause user space fail. I will prepare new firmware that extend BOOT
partition to 16MB. and put new firmware on Howard's github. I will mail
to you when I am ready..
