The reason is, most of the Mezzanine boards use USB to UART bridge on the
UART1 port available on the Low Speed Expansion header. Additionally, the
convention followed by most of the Consumer Edition 96Boards is to use UART1
as the debug serial port. That's why eventhough the bootloader is using UART0,
I forced the kernel to use UART1.

Actually, the memory size is extracted from the downstream kernel [1].

Sorry, I don't know the difference between both boards!
