Understood.

I don't like this either. But I have not come up with a "generic" solution 
till now. It's not so easy since the 440EPx SDRAM setup code is sometimes 
common (cpu/ppc4xx/denali_spd_ddr2.c) and sometimes board specific. And it 
gets even more complicated when ECC initialization is needed too. So 
currently I have no "better" solution as to do it in a board specific way.

As always, patches implementing a "better" more generic solution are welcome.

Thanks.

Best regards,
Stefan
