Just a side note - I can't see any reason to duplicate the whole dts
file if it is just the same - you can simply #include "zynq-zturn.dts"
and then change/rewrite things.

Second thing is that myir,zynq-zturn is not even listed in any yaml
binding file that's why dtbs_check will fail.

I expect you use standard boot flow via u-boot which can detect and
update memory size automatically for you. It means for kernel you can
even place there <0 0> and u-boot will fill it.

Just a summary I don't think it is worth to add support to this board in
Linux. And in U-Boot you should enable memory autodetection and you will
get support for this lite board for free.

Thanks,
Michal
