Subject: MIPS: DTS: Fix missing device_type="memory" property in memory nodes

commit 1d530fa42a317deca1c4a4780d18e2dbf316e0cb upstream.

A few platforms lack a 'device_type = "memory"' for their memory
nodes, relying on an old ppc quirk in order to discover its memory.
Add the missing data so that all parsing code can find memory nodes
correctly.
