AFAIK the vendor u-boot updates the memory correctly, what it doesn't is adding
the reserved memory zones.

can you be more specific with what "does not work properly"? is Linux
then only able to use 2GB or is there any other problem?

overall this sounds like a bug in the vendor u-boot to me
I don't see that we have any other Amlogic .dts which needs this hack,
so I'd like to hear the feedback from the device-tree maintainers (for
example Rob) as well


Best regards,

no need force setup memory size!
VIM3 boards have 2Gb and 4Gb variants
memory size will be automatically defined

mainline uboot works properly in any case
but old vendor uboot works not properly for 4Gb variants
