Looks pretty good overall, I didn't have any specific concerns.

I would not want to add more than one defconfig for a relatively simple
platform. Most actual users would have to modify their config anyway, so
I think it's best to just have one config file for the most common machine
here and let users change the dram base if they have the other one.

We can also look at using the Kconfig fragments infrastructure more here.

I don't mind either way.
