What comment would you suggest? Ron never worded it out here.

But to me the existing comment is quite clear. It has to be an even
number of megabytes by my understanding- it goes by 2MB granularity, you
can assign 0, 2, 4, 6, 8, 10, 12, 14, 16 and so on megabytes for video
memory because in the registry meaning it increases in steps of 2MB,
iirc.

As I did the equivalent changes to DBE61 some months ago when I was
making it boot linux in coreboot-v3, I can commit this soon myself too
with the provided Acks.

So I suggest the following comment:

"Video RAM has to be in a 2MB granularity"
