Hi Tom,

I just realized that
88bd5b1793 ("configs: Resync with savedefconfig")

Delete the CONFIG_NR_DRAM_BANKS entries as added in this patch, which leads to a 
regression in RPi4 (only one GB of memory visible to the kernel if you use Grub 
for booting).

Is it generally wrong to add CONFIG_NR_DRAM_BANKS to the config files? What is 
the correct approach then?

Regards,
Matthias
