Commit: 24d7c494ce46 ("efi/arm-stub: Round up FDT allocation to mapping size") increased the allocation size for the FDT image created by the stub to a fixed value of 2 MB, to simplify the former code that made several attempts with increasing values for the size. This is reasonable given that the allocation is of type EFI_LOADER_DATA, which is released to the kernel unless it is explicitly memblock_reserve()d by the early boot code. However, this allocation size leaked into the 'size' field of the FDT header metadata, and so the entire allocation remains occupied by the device tree binary, even if most of it is not used to store device tree information. So call fdt_pack() to shrink the FDT data structure to its minimum size after populating all the fields, so that the remaining memory is no longer wasted.
