Oops? U-Boot will (if configured properly) map all banks of RAM as a
single contiguous memory area and use it all.

Sounds as if you don't present us all information.  Normally,  i.  e.
when  booting from NOR flash, U-Boot does the RAM testing while still
running from flash, i. e. before relocation.

You sound as if U-Boot was not booting from flash  memory,  but  from
some  sort of storage device like NAND or data flash. In this case it
is the responsibility of the bootstrap loader which sets  up  RAM  to
test it before using it.
