armv8/ls2085a: Expose all DDR region(s) to Linux
This patch allows u-boot to expose the complete DDR region(s) to Linux
(after subtracting the memory hidden via MEM_TOP_HIDE mechanism).
This allows the u-boot to support the 48-bit VA support provided by
ARM64 Linux in flavors 3.18 and above, by passing the appropriate
'memory' DTS nodes.
