[U-Boot] [PATCH v2] common/memsize.c: Increase save array for supporting memory size > 4GB
From: Tien Fong Chee tien.fong.chee@intel.com
In ARM 64-bits, memory size can be supported is more than 4GB, hence increasing save array is needed to cope with testing larger memory.

Does this work with LPAE systems, where bits per long == 32 and the address space is bigger ? Or with similar setups ? I mean, you can have
4 GiB of RAM on 32bit system ...

This function is designed to work with 32bit or 64 bits system, for example the argument such as maxsize can be 32bit or 64 bit, if value larger than 4GiB is passed as maxsize argument with 32bit system, the whole thing will go wrong.

And what do you do when you identify a problem in mainline ? :-)

I have no idea at this moment, how about fixing the issue for save array in 64-bit 1st?

I thought I had put them in my message here, sorry. I agree with Tien that we should fix the issue we have now and address the enhancement in a follow up patch.
