Add memory info for the D1 Nezha, which seems to be required for it to
boot with the stock firmware. Note that this hardcodes 1GB, which is
not technically correct as they also make models with different amounts
of RAM. Is the firmware supposed to populate this?

Yup. Samuel intentionally did it this way:
https://lore.kernel.org/linux-riscv/[email protected]/
Since I don't like using the firmware provided stuff to more easily
test I do this in my u-boot boot script:
tftp 0x54000000 d1-fitImage.fit
bootm start 0x54000000
bootm loados 0x54000000
bootm ramdisk;
bootm prep;
fdt memory 0x40000000 0x20000000
bootm go;
Hope either of the above are helpful,
Conor.

Ah, I see, thanks for the pointers. I've got whatever firmware came
with the "dd and go" Fedora image I found on the internet somewhere,
which doesn't seem to do the memory node population for me. I've been
hesitant to rebuild the firmware as I don't want to break the Fedora
"safe OS", and if there's a way to get mired in some build
environment, I seem to have a nose for finding it.
I'll probably just keep the patch locally in my tree, and if I'm
forced to update the firmware for some other reason I'll try removing
it.
