Thanks a lot for working on this!

On DragonBoard 410c with (qcom_)dragonboard410c_defconfig:

	$ make qcom_dragonboard410c_defconfig
	  HOSTCC  scripts/basic/fixdep
	  GEN     Makefile
	  HOSTCC  scripts/kconfig/conf.o
	  YACC    scripts/kconfig/zconf.tab.[ch]

	WARNING: unmet direct dependencies detected for QCOM_SMEM
	  Depends on [n]: SOC_QCOM [=n]
	  Selected by [y]:
	  - ARCH_SNAPDRAGON [=y] && <choice>

I added CONFIG_SOC_QCOM=y in (qcom_)dragonboard410c_defconfig to
workaround this, but we probably should select SOC_QCOM for
ARCH_SNAPDRAGON to fix this properly.

Then:

	$ make
	aarch64-linux-gnu-ld: arch/arm/mach-snapdragon/dram.o: in function `qcom_configure_capsule_updates':
	arch/arm/mach-snapdragon/qcom-priv.h:38: multiple definition of `qcom_configure_capsule_updates';
	arch/arm/mach-snapdragon/board.o:arch/arm/mach-snapdragon/qcom-priv.h:38: first defined here

I added:

diff --git a/arch/arm/mach-snapdragon/qcom-priv.h b/arch/arm/mach-snapdragon/qcom-priv.h
index 39dc8fcc76a..27e5c54e512 100644

With that fixed:

U-Boot 2026.07-rc2-...
Qualcomm-DragonBoard 410C

DRAM:  1 GiB
...
U-Boot loaded from XBL
Memory map loaded from INTERNAL_FDT

Then I removed the /memory map in the internal FDT (delete
arch/arm/dts/apq8016-sbc-u-boot.dtsi), and it detects the correct 2 GiB
RAM on this board!

U-Boot 2026.07-rc2-...
Qualcomm-DragonBoard 410C

DRAM:  2 GiB
...
U-Boot loaded from XBL
Memory map loaded from SMEM

So feel free to add my Tested-by: # db410c if you fix the errors
mentioned above (also feel free to include a patch to delete
arch/arm/dts/apq8016-sbc-u-boot.dtsi, or I can do this myself later once
your series lands).

Thanks!
