Hello Igor,
I appreciate that you are trying to make it more cleaner.
But, can't you merge both of your patches to one patch?
Right now you have one patch "hppa: drop RAM size fixup", which is
what I think is wrong. Then you add another one which somehow
fixes it up again and adds other stuff.
Having everything in one single patch makes your full change more
understandable.

Is it necessary to introduce clamped_ram_size and not continue with
ram_size (even if you would add it as static local variable)?
