Please let's not add that junk to U-Boot.
4GB = 4,000,000,000 bytes period.
Only if you're a hard drive manufacturer ;)
I suggest reading ISO/IEC 80000-13:2008.
FWIW I like how truncate(1) does it:
Units are K,M,G,T,P,E,Z,Y (powers of 1024) or KB,MB,... (powers of
1000). Binary prefixes can be used, too: KiB=K, MiB=M, and so on.
Which leaves the awkward units alone, and reserves the most convenient
suffixes for natural units.
