Define craw64 config, dts and Makefile for Cisco SoCs known as Craw.I'd like some more information about the platform, e.g. the target market and maybe a link to the product information.Our SoC is produced as an internal product. So SoC specifications aren't widely available. Here is an example of a Cisco product which uses this SoC, https://www.cisco.com/c/en/us/products/collateral/switches/catalyst-9200-series-switches/nb-06-cat9200-ser-data-sheet-cte-en.html I suspect that's not really what your looking for tho.
No, that's pretty much exactly what I was looking for. Just put this one sentence and the link into the patch description and it will be fine.

The memory size is usually filled by the boot loader, just put an empty node into the .dtsi fileArnd, I must regretfully inform you that Cisco has a deep dark addiction to bootloaders which, are, um, how do I say this diplomatically, um , brain dead. You have some other comments below related to moving things into the bootloader, and I can look into it, but bootloader inflexibility is wide spread inside Cisco.
Ok, no worries. If the bootloader can do it right, you should do it, but
this part is not essential.
