To me, the suggestion is less about trying to tidy up DT code and more
about bringing this comment about arm64 and riscv64 not being able to
use the linear map as early as other architectures up out of the
depths of DT code. Seeing an architecture select something like
NO_EARLY_LINEAR_MAP, which has a paragraph explaining what that
means, may help avoid other early uses of __va() which may or may
not fail quickly and cleanly with a BUG.
