When the bootloader passes arguments to linux kernel through device tree, it passes the address of initrd_start and initrd_stop, which are in kseg0. But when linux kernel reads these addresses from device tree, it converts them to virtual addresses inside the function __early_init_dt_declare_initrd. At a later point then in the function init_initrd, it is checking for initrd_start to be lower than PAGE_OFFSET, which for a 32 CPU it is not, therefore it would disable the initrd by setting 0 to initrd_start and initrd_stop. The fix consists of checking if linux kernel received a device tree and not having enable extended virtual address and in that case convert them back to physical addresses that point in kseg0 as expected.
