fw_dynamic should also work unless you are using more than 1G of memory.
Linux kernel can only support 1G of memory for RV32. The current
Kconfig is bit misleading and
I will send a patch to update the description.

However, kernel should be able to ignore any memory beyond what it can
address and continue.
I will investigate more.

Are you using more than 1G of memory ? Let me know if the kernel boots
if you use 1G.
