[meta-xilinx] uboot CONFIG_SYS_SDRAM_SIZE allocation error

[Arno Steffens]

Thanks Mike and Nathan for feedback.
As this is really effort to test if uboot fails (I have to flash (slow) via xilinx jtag the hole qspi) I am asking once again:

So I will delete (or better said not add) CONFIG_SYS_SDRAM_SIZE?
My devicetree aready looks like this, so I expected this works

  memory {
    device_type = "memory";
    reg = <0x0 0x1f000000>;
  };

I add than (is this optional or required?)
    reserved-memory {
      buffer_fpga: buffer_fpga at 1f000000 {
      reg = <0x1f000000 0x1000000>;
    };

(what meaning does have the name as here "buffer_fpga" - is it free to chose ?)

Than you mentions fdt_high. Honestly, not fully understand what this means.
Do I get it right, that with the default it is load to beyond my physical memory (0x2000.0000)? 
But which address I have to chose - any inbetween 0 and 0x1e00.0000 - so that devicetree fits into the 0x1f00.0000 range for linux?

set fdt_high 0x1e000000  ?

Thanks,
Arno
