+Subject: [v2] MIPS: Fix memory reservation in bootmem_init for certain non-usermem setups
+
+Commit 67a3ba25aa95 ("MIPS: Fix incorrect mem=X@Y handling") introduced a new
+issue for rt288x where "PHYS_OFFSET" is 0x0 but the calculated "ramstart" is
+not. As the prerequisite of custom memory map has been removed, this results
+in the full memory range of 0x0 - 0x8000000 to be marked as reserved for this
+platform.
+
+v2: Correctly compare that usermem is not null.
+
+This patch adds the originally intended prerequisite again.
