Hm, with that we take the MMDC register information as the upper bound, and use regular U-Boot get_ram_size() to determine size by poking memory addresses. Seems sensible.

Fabio, I guess other boards use SPL to use different MMDC configuration for different memory size? Is there a downside doing this size over-provisioning?
