[U-Boot] [PATCH v2 1/2] fdt: prevent clearing memory node if there are no banks

[Andre Przywara]

Avoid clearing the reg property in the memory DT node if no memory
banks have been specified for a board (CONFIG_NR_DRAM_BANKS == 0).
This allows boards to let U-Boot skip the DT memory tinkering in case
other firmware has already setup the node properly before.
This should be safe as all callers of fdt_fixup_memory_banks that use
a computed <banks> value put at least 1 in there.
Add some documentation comments to the header file.

Hi Tom,

if you haven't applied the last version of this patch, consider using
this version instead, which has Rob's comment addressed (bailing out
early).

Cheers,
Andre.
