I understood what you said. Frankly, i had tried to use memory information into my bootscript.
So i have checked mmcinfo command.

Right, there is included information not to use by U-boot side. 

I thought a issue what not display Total Ram information with meminfo.
(Because there isn't any description about meminfo.)
But if it's displayed memory that can be used by U-boot, this patch doesn't need.

I have tested on my own targets. (RPI4 2G/4G/8G, meson target - VIM3(4G), Odroid-N2(4G))
- Those boards were displayed almost under 1G.

Thanks for comment and checking!
