[PATCH v2] ARM: mvebu: Warn about memory chunks too small for DDR training

For each memory region the first 10K are reserved for DDR training. Emit
a warning if the area happens to be smaller than these 10K. This should
not happen, but if it does this message simplifies diagnosing the
problem.

This fixes a W=1 compiler error:

	arch/arm/mach-mvebu/board-v7.c: In function ‘mvebu_scan_mem’:
	arch/arm/mach-mvebu/board-v7.c:84:27: error: variable ‘size’ set but not used [-Werror=unused-but-set-variable]
	   84 |                 u64 base, size;
	      |                           ^~~~

Hello,

the (implicit) first iteration of this patch is available at
https://lore.kernel.org/linux-arm-kernel/20240708093145.1398949-2-u.kleine-koenig@baylibre.com/

In this v2 the size variable is evaluated to emit a warning instead of
being dropped, which was done in v1.

Best regards
Uwe
