K2 platforms has a special scenario. DDR view for U-Boot is starting from
0x8000_0000 - 0xFFFF_FFFF. Wheres as for kernel, the DDR view gets shifted to
0x8_0000_0000 - 0x8_7FFF_FFFF. This is a hardware limitation to ensure coherency
among different master in the SoC. In kernel all the page tables are fixed up by
the Kconfig CONFIG_ARM_PV_FIXUP. But the expectation is to pass the right
information in DTB. U-Boot already fixes up the memory address nodes in
ft_board_setup() but missed updating the linux-initrd. This patch enables the
fixup for initrd.

Thanks and regards,
Lokesh
