4GB is actually the 33rd bit set and the lower 32bits cleared (i.e. the largest
32bit value “plus one”).

The min() doesn’t make any sense here, as we implement the hook function
‘board_get_usable_ram_top’ just a few lines later…
We are at the start of the merge window right now, so I’d rather hold off a
week (or two) and have a permanent solution than merging just a band-aid
now and then having the full fix come in later during the merge window.

I briefly reviewed the situation yesterday and it looks like the size field in
ram_info is the culprit: it’s defined as ‘size_t’, which again is __SIZE_TYPE__
which again is ‘unsigned int’ on a (32bit) arm-*-eabi compiler.

Expanding this to a phys_size_t won’t be doing us much good, either (as
that one will also be 32bits for the RK3288).

The root cause of this is really that the RAM size and the ‘usable RAM’ are
two different concepts in U-Boot.  On a 32bit physical address space with
memory-mapped peripherals, we can never have the full 4GB of DRAM as
we’ll also have some of the physical address-space set aside for the MMIO;
however, the MMIO range is only removed from the DRAM size when the
usable ram-top is evaluated… so the size can be 4GB after all and overflow
the 32bit size_t.  Note that this separation into two different steps makes a
lot of sense, as processors might not use MMIO but specialised instructions
to access peripheral space—in which case there might indeed be a usable
memory of 4GB on a 32bit physical address space.

From what I can tell, we’ll need to do two things:
(a)	fix arch/arm/mach-rockchip/sdram_common.c to not use 32bit types
	for the memory size
(b)	touch ram.h to change the type of the ‘size’ field in ram_info (it needs
	to be larger than 32bits

I’d like Simon’s input (as he owns ram.h) and can create a patchset for this
change, if he agrees that this is the way forward.

Regards,
Philipp.
