Subject: [PATCH v2 2/7] of/fdt: Fix the len check in early_init_dt_check_for_elfcorehdr()

The len value is in bytes, while `dt_root_addr_cells + dt_root_size_cells`
is in cells (4 bytes per cell). Comparing them directly is incorrect.

Use a helper function to simplify the code and address this issue.

Fixes: f7e7ce93aac1 ("of: fdt: Add generic support for handling elf core headers property")
Fixes: e62aaeac426ab1dd ("arm64: kdump: provide /proc/vmcore file")
