On Rockchip platform all DRAM is available at U-Boot proper pre-reloc,
so there is no need to limit SYS_MALLOC_F_LEN to a small amount.

Ringneck seem to use 8 KiB for pre-reloc malloc() pool, please try with
a 64 KiB pool, same as rk3308/rk3328/rk3399/rk356x/rk3588 all now use.

  CONFIG_SYS_MALLOC_F_LEN=0x10000

malloc() pool size used by TPL/SPL should still work:

  CONFIG_TPL_SYS_MALLOC_F_LEN=0x600
  CONFIG_SPL_SYS_MALLOC_F_LEN=0x2000

Also check the "Early malloc usage" from bdinfo cmd, should show how
much memory was actually allocated at pre-reloc, from a rk3308 board:

  Early malloc usage: 2060 / 10000
