[U-Boot] [PATCH V4 2/7] ARM: rpi_b: use bcm2835 mbox driver to get memory size

The firmware running on the bcm2835 SoC's VideoCore CPU determines how
much of the system RAM is available for use by the ARM CPU. Previously,
U-Boot assumed that only 128MB was available, since this was the
smallest value configured by any public firmware. However, we can now
query the actual value at run-time from the firmware using the mbox
property protocol.

v4: Rebased onto latest u-boot-arm/master; no real change.
v3: No change.
v2: Updated to use macros etc. added in v2 of mbox driver patch.
