The early_init_dt_verify() set he DTB base address in Linux OF.

When parse_dtb() calls early_init_dt_verify(), MMU is enabled but
we have temporary mapping for DTB (i.e. dtb_early_va).

After paging_init(), we have moved to final swapper_pg_dir so
temporary mapping for DTB does not exists anymore but DTB
is at same physical address so update DTB base address in
Linux OF by calling early_init_dt_verify() again.

Based on above, NACK to this patch.

Anup
