Title:
  Full RAM on Pi4 isn't accessible when using u-boot

Status in u-boot package in Ubuntu:
  Confirmed

Bug description:
  Booting the latest eoan daily on a Pi4 with >1Gb of RAM, only the
  first 1Gb of RAM appears accessible:

      ubuntu at ubuntu:~$ free
                    total        used        free      shared  buff/cache   available
      Mem:         931920      185484      504748        3664      241688      723820
      Swap:             0           0           0

  However, adjusting the config.txt so that the kernel is booted
  directly without u-boot in between results in the full 4Gb being
  accessible:

      ubuntu at ubuntu:~$ free
                    total        used        free      shared  buff/cache   available
      Mem:        3884464      189852     3457504        3656      237108     3636004
      Swap:             0           0           0
