My suggestion was to check if memory initialization can not rather be
done _without_ reading (and without otherwise knowing) the board type
or revision.  Usually this is possible, and I always prefer such
auto-adjusting solutions over hard-wired approaches that break down
when any of the expected inout data is not correct or not available.
