Hi Stefan,

get_ram_size does not work correctly on Mox. On a 512 MiB board it
detects 1024 MiB of RAM, because on the 512 MiB RAM chip the topmost
address bit is simply ignored and the RAM wraps - on
0x20000000-0x40000000 CPU sees the same data as on 0x0-0x20000000.

ATF does not run RAM size determining code either, it just gets RAM
size from a register, this register is written before ATF by BootROM
and we have done it so that there is always 1 GB so that we could use
same secure firmware image for all Moxes. I tried to change this
register in secure firmware, but this lead to Synchornous Abort events
in U-Boot.

Maybe we could move the dram_init funcitons from arm64-common.c to
specific board files, or maybe we could declare them __weak in
arm64-common.c and turris_mox can then redefine them.

Would that be OK with you?

Marek
