The bootloader overrides the memory node and memory starts at 0x40 0x0

neither of that

it does, clock-frequency removed

removed

yes, it is overriden by the bootloader. It requires a memory node in the
dts but will overwrite the contents. I'll set size to zero and add a
comment that it is updated by the bootloader. I could set start to 0x40
0x00 or leave it at zero.

I can change that but the bootloader will add a 'linux,stdout-path' and
the stdout-path will override it. OTOH the bootloader seems to always
add this exact string so it will be fine to "override" it from the dts.
The alternative would to remove it.
