[PATCH v2 1/2] common: fdt_support: add support for setting usable memory

[Igor Opaniuk]

From: Igor Opaniuk <igor.opaniuk at toradex.com>

Add support for setting linux,usable-memory property in the memory
node of device tree for the kernel [1].

This property holds a base address and size, describing a
limited region in which memory may be considered available for use by
the kernel. Memory outside of this range is not available for use.
