When facing a really early issue on DT parsing we have currently a message that shows both the physical and virtual address of the FDT. The printk pointer modifier for the virtual address shows a hashed address there unless the user provides "no_hash_pointers" parameter in the command-line. The situation in which this message shows-up is a bit more serious though: the boot process is broken, nothing can be done (even an oops is too much for this early stage) so we have this message as a last resort in order to help debug bootloader issues, for example. Hence, we hereby change that to "%px" in order to make debugging easy, there's not much information leak risk in such early boot failure. Also, we tried to improve a bit the commenting on that function, given that if kernel fails there, it just hangs forever in a cpu_relax() loop. The reason we cannot BUG/panic is that is too early to do so; thanks to Mark Brown for pointing that on IRC and thanks Robin Murphy for the good pointer hash discussion in the mailing-list.
