It is to workaround the computational of SDRAM rows. The info is then
used to calculate the SDRAM size. By doing this, we can remove from
hardcoding the SDRAM size into the code. More info at
https://github.com/altera-opensource/u-boot-socfpga/commit/93815696dce132ff8abc4ab2f4c195339ff821a0. Hope this explains.
