Subject: [PATCH 3.13 151/198] ARM: mvebu: DT: fix OpenBlocks AX3-4 RAM size

3.13.11.5 -stable review patch.  If anyone has any objections, please let me know.

------------------

From: Jason Cooper <jason@...edaemon.net>

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.
