Thanks. Will give it a try.

OK. May well do it. Just to make sure: Does U-boot support any other
implementation of more than one DDR module on board, or is it
currently limited to sensing one module (wasn't sure from reading the
code)? The reason I'm asking is that this board is a pilot board, and
may change in the final stage, also based on my requirements. So - if
there's a more "standard" way to support the case of more than one
module, I can require taking it (and in the meantime live with one
module).
