[U-Boot] [PATCH v2] rockchip: sdram-common: fix wrong size for 4GB in 32bit SoC

Kever,

I agree that getting LPAE enabled on the RK3288 (in one of the next releases)
would be great.
We could then turn on PHYS64_BIT, never worry about this again (and
not need a workaround at all) and have the hardware’s capabilities
accurately modelled.

Let me know if I can do anything to help towards that goal.

Thanks,
Philipp.
