While checking xen dom0less documentation it has been found
that domU memory property requires extra 0x0 in case of arm64.

There is no need to keep memory size in u64, 32 bits is
enough for domU memory size.

Tested that in case of arm64 dom0less domU works
without adding extra 0x0 to domU memory property with this patch.

And this matches the binding docs/misc/arm/device-tree/booting.txt which 
requires a 64-bit value.

Definitely not. The memory is given in KB so 32-bits only allows to 
cover 4TB. While I agree that none of the DomU created by Xen will be 
bigger than a few gigabytes today, user exposed interfaces should always 
cater for the future.

In any case, the interface changes you suggest is going to break user 
properly using the bindings.

You are right. Please ignore this patch.
I will add extra 0x0 to dom0less documentation instead.

Thanks
