If base is 2GB and size is 2GB then ram_top is 4GB which cannot be
represented in 32-bit phys_size_t type and hence some of other u-boot
functions use 0 as ram_top. Mentioned commit tries to fix this issue.
I guess that you have some other hidden problem and my change just
showed implication of that. Could you check how is gd->ram_top
configured with and without this change?
