That could be the solution although tegra30-apalis.dtsi is a problem
here. For Tegra 114, 124 and 20 it would work fine - all boards from
given SoC have the same address of memory (0x0 or 0x80000000). However
for Tegra30 the Apalis did not have any memory reg before so I am not
sure what should be used. I added 0x0. The other Tegra30 boards have
memory@80000000.
