The current implementation of boot_relocate_fdt() places DT at the
highest usable DRAM address, which is calculated as:
env_get_bootm_low() + env_get_bootm_mapsize()
which by default becomes gd->ram_base + gd->ram_size.
Systems like i.MX53 can have multiple DRAM banks with gap between them,
e.g. have DRAM at 0x70000000-0x8fffffff and 0xb0000000-0xcfffffff , so
for them the calculated highest DRAM address is 0xafffffff, which is
exactly in the gap and thus not usable.
Fix this by iterating over all DRAM banks and tracking the remaining
amount of the total mapping size obtained from env_get_bootm_mapsize().
Limit the maximum LMB area size to each bank, to avoid using nonexistent
DRAM.

Should we put this behind a Kconfig option to reduce code size?
Since this depends on DT content, we cannot predict what kind of DT will
be passed to U-Boot, so no, we cannot put this behind a Kconfig option.
Doesn't it only affect boards with disjoint memory?
Sure, it does trigger nasty unexpected failures on some systems. And you
cannot really tell whether a board may or may not be populated with such
a memory setup, because you cannot predict what will be in the DT.
Besides, there is far more code which correctly does handle multiple
memory areas and it is also not ifdef'd out, so I don't see why we
should special case this one. That would only lead to inconsistency and
more people running into this kind of problem and wasting a lot of time
trying to figure out a fix, and then arriving at some loadaddr
workaround instead.
