OK, this would be the 256 MB from above again. > One major advantage is for example that get_ram_size() verifies that > RAM is actually working, and of expected size.

But what exactly should happen if such a board with only one possible memory size configuration detects ram_size != configured ram_size? OK, this small check is an improvement over no check at all. Is it acceptable that I add this get_ram_size() with an additional patch? This would safe me from resetting my "next" branch or reverting patches.
