[U-Boot] [PATCH 2/3] ARM: Tegra186: search for best RAM bank

From: Stephen Warren <swarren at nvidia.com>

In the future, the list of DRAM regions passed to U-Boot in the DTB may
be quite long and fragmented. Due to this, U-Boot must search through the
regions to find the best region to relocate into, rather than relying on
the current assumption that the top of bank 0 is a reasonable relocation
target. This change implements such searching.
