Unless I am reading the DTS file completely wrong, I don't think the 
above memory regions are in DDR as per the memory node.

I have no access to the spec, but I read this as 1GB RAM @0x0
Unless this entry is completely wrong, what your commit log claims is
incorrect. If this entry is wrong I wonder how is it booting with this
DT then.

So I don't see how can this be part of DDR ? Or at-least part of DDR
that's mapped by kernel ?
