Hi I received some feedback from Airoha about this and sadly it's not
possible. There are too much version of ATF and only some of them
provide RAM size in some way or another. Also there isn't an exact HW
trap to read to know the RAM size hence raw testing the ram and not
depending externally is the only solution :(

I will address all the other comments.
