Thanks for the review. However, this value seems depends on the boot 
method. Take u-boot as the example, the total memory size which Linux 
kernel get will be different via EBBR boot or fitImage boot.

It the system is booted through EBBR, the memory size should be filled 
by u-boot's UEFI variables, which is from u-boot's dts file. If the 
system is booted from fitImage, the memory size should be filled by 
kernel's dts file which is usually packed with fitImage. That's why we 
still need this fix.
