  525883d3721f4c4d78b498e780b44e85d0676abf contains patches to detect the
  RAM size automatically.
+ 
+ [Impact]
+ 
+ If the memory is not discovered automatically, the Nezha can't boot
+ without an additional memory node in the device tree: the issue is that
+ the Nezha boards comes now with 2 different amounts of memory, 1GB or
+ 2GB. So the additional device tree node can't cover both boards.
+ 
+ It is essential to backport this fix to Jammy as we intend to provide
+ first support for the Nezha board in 22.04.1.
+ 
+ [Test Plan]
+ 
+ To test the fix is correct, one can simply use this nezha-boot0 and
+ check that the next stage bootloader (u-boot-nezha) advertises the right
+ amount of memory for the board, which is displayed at boot right after
+ the banner:
+ 
+ U-Boot 2022.04 (Apr 21 2022 - 09:19:39 +0000)
+ 
+ DRAM:  1 GiB
+ sunxi_set_gate: (CLK#24) unhandled
+ 
+ [Where problems could occur]
+ 
+ The update will not introduce regressions as this package is *not* used
+ since we did not deliver images for the Nezha board yet, support for
+ this board is an additional feature scheduled for 22.04.1.
+ 
+ [Other Info]
+ 
+ Note that this only fixes the memory detection from boot0 to u-boot,
+ another similar patch is needed for u-boot-nezha to patch the kernel
+ device tree.
