Maybe it would make sense to set the memory reg to
<0x40000000 0x60000000> (1.5 GiB) and move the comment about last
512(/516) MiB being weird/broken here instead.  It looks a bit weird
that the memory range and usable-memory-range are identical, and device tree
should describe hardware, which technically has 1.5 GiB RAM.
