Subject: ARM: mvebu: DT: fix OpenBlocks AX3-4 RAM size
From: Jason Cooper <[email protected]>
commit e47043aea3853a74a9aa5726a1faa916d7462ab7 upstream.
The OpenBlocks AX3-4 has a non-DT bootloader. It also comes with 1GB of
soldered on RAM, and a DIMM slot for expansion.
Unfortunately, atags_to_fdt() doesn't work in big-endian mode, so we see
the following failure when attempting to boot a big-endian kernel:
686 slab pages
17 pages shared
0 pages swap cached
[ pid ] uid tgid total_vm rss nr_ptes swapents oom_score_adj name
Kernel panic - not syncing: Out of memory and no killable processes...

A similar failure will also occur if ARM_ATAG_DTB_COMPAT isn't selected.
Fix this by setting a sane default (1 GB) in the dts file.
