Hello Krzysztof,
Sory bothers you again.
After checking the AST2700 platform memory configuration, it supports up to
8GB of DRAM. This requires using `#size-cells = <2>` for the memory node, for
example:
	memory at 400000000 {
		device_type = "memory";
		reg = <0x4 0x00000000 0x0 0x40000000>;
	};
Given this, what would be the proper way to proceed?
Thanks again for your guidance.
