It +will be paced there as often as goes into the 128MB. The detection +tries to find the position where the same memory is found. When reading +over 128MB the processor will throw an exception. If 128MB ram is +installed, it will not find the same memory because it tries to read +over the 128MB boarder. Now it just assumes 128MB installed ram if it +can not find that the ram is repeating. + +Signed-off-by: Hauke Mehrtens <hauke@hauke-m.de> +--- + arch/mips/bcm47xx/prom.c | 22 ++++++++++++++-------- + 1 files changed, 14 insertions(+), 8 deletions(-) + +--- a/arch/mips/bcm47xx/prom.c ++++ b/arch/mips/bcm47xx/prom.c +@@ -126,6 +126,7 @@ static __init void prom_init_cmdline(voi + static __init void prom_init_mem(void) + { + unsigned long mem; ++ unsigned long max; + + /* Figure out memory size by finding aliases. + * +@@ -134,21 +135,26 @@ static __init void prom_init_mem(void) + * want to reuse the memory used by CFE (around 4MB).
