There is no RAM here. That is in the IOMEM > space. But here the kernel has ignored the command line parameter and instead used the one passed via DT. That is not correct - command line parameters must always override ATAGs or DT. (That's irrespective of whether what's actually being asked of the kernel is correct or not - the principle here applies that command line parameters override, and in this case they aren't.) -- FTTC broadband for 0.8mile line: 5.8Mbps down 500kbps up.
