commit 34e5a54327dce5033582f3609eb54812a8c61b90 upstream.
This reverts commit c105518679b6e87232874ffc989ec403bee59664.
This patch disables the TOPDOWN flag for APU and few dGPU cards
which has the VRAM size equal to the BAR size.
When we enable the TOPDOWN flag, we get the free blocks at
the highest available memory region and we don't split the
lower order blocks. This change is required to keep off
the fragmentation related issues particularly in ASIC
which has VRAM space <= 500MiB
Hence, we are reverting this patch.
