Currently, u-boot will always fixup the DT memory node on ARM. If the dtb
has correct memory information, then we don't want or need u-boot to touch
the memory node. Allow platforms to skip this by not filling in dram bank
information.

I don't think we should be patching this file now - everything should
be on generic board.

Right, looking closer at this patch much of it is actually not
necessary. Having CONFIG_NR_DRAM_BANKS set to 0 automatically skips a
lot of the code already, so we don't need any extra gating.
Hope that there are no compilers which complain about zero-sized arrays.
The only thing that harms us is the final fdt_setprop(), which will
_clear_ the reg property in the memory node in this case.
So I replaced this patch by just skipping the reg property setting if
the number of banks is 0 in common/fdt_support.c.
From looking at all callers of fdt_fixup_memory_banks() this looks like
a safe approach. Any objections?
I will send the replaced patch with the next revision.

Cheers,
Andre.

Should be OK - can you please add docs for that function to the header
file? See fdt_fixup_display() for an example.
