In old versions of U-Boot that was true. Now there is definitely code
that reads the SPD EEPROM and sets up the Denali controller
appropriately.

There could be some hardcoded value being written to the registers that
is incorrect for the kernel - in fact that is my suspicion - but the
values U-Boot itself is using for the size calculation must be correct.
