[PATCH v15 09/10] arm64: Call kmalloc() to allocate DTB buffer

2021-01-15 Thread Lakshmi Ramasubramanian
create_dtb() function allocates kernel virtual memory for the device tree blob (DTB). This is not consistent with other architectures, such as powerpc, which calls kmalloc() for allocating memory for the DTB. Call kmalloc() to allocate memory for the DTB, and kfree() to free the allocated memory.
