The DRAM size can be easily detected at runtime on i.MX53. Implement
such detection on M53EVK and adjust the rest of the macros accordingly
to use the detected values.
An important thing to note here is that we had to override the function
for trimming the effective DRAM address, get_effective_memsize(). That
is because the function uses CONFIG_MAX_MEM_MAPPED as the upper bound of
the available DRAM and we don't have gd->bd->bi_dram[0].size set up at
the time the function is called, thus we cannot put this into the macro
CONFIG_MAX_MEM_MAPPED . Instead, we use custom override where we use the
size of the first DRAM block which we just detected.

Fix memory access slowness on i.MX53 M53EVK board. Let us inspect the
issue: First of all, the i.MX53 CPU has two memory banks mapped at
0x7000_0000 and 0xb000_0000 and each of those can hold up to 1GiB of
DRAM memory. Notice that the memory area is not continuous. On M53EVK,
each of the banks contain 512MiB of DRAM, which makes a total of 1GiB
of memory available to the system.
The problem is how the relocation of U-Boot is treated on i.MX53 . The
U-Boot is placed at the ((start of first DRAM partition) + (gd->ram_size)) .
This in turn poses a problem, since in our case, the gd->ram_size is 1GiB,
the first DRAM bank starts at 0x7000_0000 and contains 512MiB of memory.
Thus, with this algorithm, U-Boot is placed at offset:
0x7000_0000 + 1GiB - sizeof(u-boot and some small margin)
This is past the DRAM available in the first bank on M53EVK, but is still
within the address range of the first DRAM bank. Because of the memory
wrap-around, the data can still be read and written to this area, but the
access is much slower.
There were two ideas how to solve this problem, first was to map both of
the available DRAM chunks next to one another by using MMU, second was to
define CONFIG_VERY_BIG_RAM and CONFIG_MAX_MEM_MAPPED to size of the memory
in the first DRAM bank. We choose the later because it turns out the former
is not applicable afterall. The former cannot be used in case Linux kernel
was loaded into the second DRAM bank area, which would be remapped and one
would try booting the kernel, since at some point before the kernel is started,
the MMU would be turned off, which would destroy the mapping and hang the
system.

enable support for the Moschip USB ethernet adapter for those boards
which previously had support for "all other" USB ethernet adapters
(that's Asix _and_ SMSC) enabled -- which applies to harmony, m53evk,
mx53loco, nitrogen6x, omap3_beagle

The definitions for CONFIG_SYS_PROMPT are varied with little reason other
than to display the board name. Over half the definitions are "==> ", so
make this the default. The rest of the boards remain unchanged to avoid
breaking any external scripts expecting a certain prompt.
