May I suggest an easier way ?
The problem we currently have is some evaluation board(s), we know them,
use wrong DDR configuration parameters, so do as U-Boot does - simply
hardcode memory size for these particular board(s), don't calculate, but
use patched function to calculate memory size for all other boards,
including variety of customers' made. To be absolutely sure, we can
check board revision register - it's theoretically possible that future
board revisions will have more or less memory installed.
This way we can avoid U-Boot to Linux compatibility issues.
