[PATCH] arm: mach-socfpga: detect workaround for dram controller erratum

To work around an erratum, the previous booting stage may have increased the
amount of rows to fake having 4G of RAM. In that case, we assume the previous
booting stage will have fixed up a proper memory size into the device tree and
don't use the calculated dram size. The erratum itself appears to be
undocumented by Altera/Intel and the workaround was introduced in the Alteras
fork of U-Boot back in 2014 and ported to mainline later, the linked FogBugz
issue is unfortunately not accessible.
