[U-Boot] [PATCH 1/3] ARM: tegra: Restrict usable RAM to 32-bit on 64-bit SoCs

From: Thierry Reding <treding at nvidia.com>

Most peripherals on Tegra can do DMA only to the lower 32-bit
address space, even on 64-bit SoCs. This limitation is
typically overcome by the use of an IOMMU. Since the IOMMU is
not entirely trivial to set up and serves no other purpose
(I/O protection, ...) in U-Boot, restrict 64-bit Tegra SoCs to
the lower 32-bit address space for RAM. This ensures that the
physical addresses of buffers that are programmed into the
various DMA engines are valid and don't alias to lower addresses.

These 3 patches are pre-requisites for T210 support (either compile-time
or run-time) but don't seem to have been sent to the mailing lists
recently.
