[U-Boot-Users] mpc5200 relocation problem

I don't know if it's related, but I had an issue with the u-boot-1.1.1 when 
using 32MB SDRAM with a MPC5200.

In the initdram function in icecube.c, the sdram_start is properly set to 0
after detection 32MB for CS0. 
But when trying to detect mem with CS1, and if there is no mem, the 
sdram_start is set to 1 and then improperly set the high_bit to 1 in the 
MPC5XXX_SDRAM_CTRL register.

        /* find RAM size using SDRAM CS1 only */
        sdram_start(0);
        test1 = get_ram_size((ulong *)(CFG_SDRAM_BASE + dramsize), 
0x80000000);
        sdram_start(1);
        test2 = get_ram_size((ulong *)(CFG_SDRAM_BASE + dramsize), 
0x80000000);
        if (test1 > test2) {
                sdram_start(0);
                dramsize2 = test1;
        } else {
                dramsize2 = test2;
        }

if no mem, test1==test2 and then sdram_start(1) is kept set.
Or the previous test for CS0, which properly detected 32MB,
set up sdram_start(0) correctly.

I haven't had time to figure a clean fix, so I did a dirty hack:

       // FIXME
        if( dramsize==(32*1024*1024) ) {
                sdram_start(0);
        } else if( dramsize==(64*1024*1024) ) {
                sdram_start(1);
        }
printf("SDRAM_CTRL=0x%x\n",*(vu_long *)MPC5XXX_SDRAM_CTRL);
