You can drop "since they have fixed RAM size" - if they didn't, you
would simply choose the lowest size and rely on the bootloader (U-Boot)
to overwrite it with the actually detected size.

Please expand why this patch is separate - BSP based, I assume?

This looks strange to me - either put /* 4 GiB RAM */ before the node,
three lines above, and/or append comment /* 2 GiB */ on each line below.
Note the space, and suggest to be precise about factor 1024 vs. 1000.

Note that this gives you the range to use for the .dtsi /soc node:
Address 0x0 with size 0x80000000 gets mapped to 0x0 0x0, excluding the
upper 0x80000000 for the RAM here. Or address 0x0 0x0 for two /soc cells
if there are high-memory peripherals.

Maybe use 0x8 here and 0x0 above? (second 0 stays same, so don't mind)

Same comments as for EVB.
