Umm... This is not how it should be done. U-Boot should *never* assume static flash bank sizes. The whole design is based on the idea to automatically determine the actual size of flash and RAM that is fit on a specific board, and to auto-adjust for this. There are many vendors out there who manufacture boards in different memory configurations. For these it is essential that they can use only one U-Boot image on all boards, no matter what the exact memory configuration of this board is. I am aware that there are ports out there which violate this design principle, but if we touch this area, thenplease only to make more boards conformant, not to make things worse. Thanks.
