common: memsize: add RAM size probe based on alias detection
Add probe_ram_size_by_alias() to detect RAM size by checking whether a write to one address aliases to another address. Compared to get_ram_size(), this function allows the caller to: - limit probing to a small set of required accesses - avoid touching reserved or already used memory regions - handle non-linear alias patterns On the iMX95 SoC, when used with LPDDR5, accesses beyond the end of an 8GB DDR configuration do not alias to the expected linear wrap-around addresses. Instead, the aliased addresses appear to follow a pattern related to the DDRC bank and bank-group addresses mapping. Experimentally, the observed pattern is: Write Read y00000000 -> x0001c000 y00004000 -> x00018000 y00008000 -> x00014000 y0000c000 -> x00010000 y00010000 -> x0000c000 y00014000 -> x00008000 y00018000 -> x00004000 y0001c000 -> x00000000 This helper makes it possible to probe RAM size by explicitly specifying the probed address and the expected alias address for each size check.
