PATCH 1/1 ARM: Fix incorrect FDT initrd parameter override

Commit 65939301acdb (arm: set initrd_start/initrd_end for fdt scan) caused the FDT initrd_start and initrd_end to override the phys_initrd_start and phys_initrd_size set by the initrd= kernel parameter. With this patch initrd_start and initrd_end will be overridden if phys_initrd_start and phys_initrd_size are set by the kernel initrd= parameter.

I'd really like to see phys_initrd_* removed, but that would be more invasive, so:

Please submit to Russell's patch system and mark for stable. I don't think there is time before 3.13 is released.
