No, please don't. It is trivial (less  than  15  lines  of  code)  to
support  both 8 and 9 column SDRAM chips with the same configuration,
so instead of littering the Makefile  with  countless  configurations
all  the  boards will be able to run the same U-Boot image. I already
poointed out how to do this.

Don't. I will reject any such patches. Do it the Right Way (TM).
