Looks like the call was added fairly recently by:
commit 05c58752f9dce11e396676eb731a620541590ed0 Author: CHANDAN VN <chandan.vn@samsung.com> Date: Mon Apr 30 09:50:18 2018 +0530
arm64: To remove initrd reserved area entry from memblock
which claims it is to work around the initrd being displayed in /sys/kernel/debug/memblock/reserved.
I really think we need to have common behavior there - either do this for all architectures or none. I've just sent a series that consolidates all but a handful of the free_initrd_mem, so implementing any common behavior on top of that would be good.
