I'll make sure that this is done properly when(if?) a patch series for
an OMAP4 board with NOR boot is prepared.

Getting back to the subject patch, though :-)

This patch fixes a bug in the current Panda board support in rc2.
Without this patch U-boot will return an erroneous size for available
RAM.  We should consider it for inclusion as soon as practical.
