It is possible that the firmware changed the format of the
device tree?

The kernel uses device tree to determine the memory size and
adds a *memsize=<topaddr1> <base2> <topaddr2> ... parameter
to  the boot configuration.

you can try to read it with if it is there:

cat '#ec/*memsize'

if that file is missing, it could be that the device tree is
not passed to the kernel or the field format has changed somehow
with the new firmware.

the relevant code is in bcm/bootargc.c where devtreeprop() gets
called for every device tree property and we filter out the
/memory/reg property and add a *maxmem boot parameter when
it does not already exist.

debugging is a bit tricky in that code because we havnt setup
the framebuffer or serial console yet.

i only got a raspi4 with 2gb. but i can still try to see if it
can be reproduced here with the latest firmware. if i can find
the time...
