[U-Boot] [RFC] colibri_imx7: Do not hardcode the memory size

Hi Fabio

Stefan is currently at Linaro Connect and may not have access to
hardware.

In theory that sounds fine. However, in practise that function seems to
return zero on our modules which leads to it freezing during boot.

I am currently looking more closely into it and will keep you posted.

BTW: Notice the generic get_ram_size() function which actually already
did/does figure out the RAM size across all our modules regardless of
being NXP/imx based or not. The size given there is just some kind of
upper bound maxsize:
