Hi York,

There is no generic driver. AFAIK. Having worked on both mpc85xx and ARM

I can tell you about samsung 5250. There are 2 uboots (one spl and other main).
In case of sd/mmc boot the internal rom copies the spl uboot to iRAM
and the spl boot loader initialises the DDR3.

you can check for board/samsung/smdk5250/dmc_init_ddr3.c
