From: Guo Ren <redacted> The firmware of riscv (such as opensbi) occupy 2MB(64bit) / 4MB(32bit) in Linux. It's very wasteful to small memory footprint soc chip such as Allwinner D1s/F133. The kernel parameter gives a chance to users to set the proper size of the firmware and get more than 1.5MB of memory.

Is "Determine" like "Set"? The user is setting (telling the software) the firmware size? "Determine" makes it sound to me like the Linux software is somehow helping to determine the firmware size.
