We learn this from arch/arm64/boot/dts/hisilicon/hi3660-hikey960.dts,
it writes DTS as following:
```
memory@0 {
device_type = "memory";
/* rewrite this at bootloader */
reg = <0x0 0x0 0x0 0x0>;
};
```
So you mean we can totally remove the memory nodes in DTS and make
bootloader add it by itself? That sounds a good idea, I will have a
try. I used to think memory nodes are must-have in DTS.
