If the device tree pointer is NULL, early_init_dt_verify() fails, leaving initial_boot_params unchanged. If the device tree pointer is non-NULL but invalid, early_init_dt_verify() again fails but this time it also clears initial_boot_params.
Leave initial_boot_params unchanged if the device tree pointer is invalid. This doesn't fix a bug, but it makes the behavior more consistent and easier to analyze.
