Stefan, Carolyn,

Yes, I do intend on sending out an AMCC patch to remove the definition
for SDRAM_CODT_FEEBBACK_RCV_SINGLE_END and
SDRAM_CODT_FEEBBACK_DRV_SINGLE_END.

My apologies Carolyn as I should have notified you of this intent.

My AMCC patch to remove these SDRAM_CODT bit definitions may come after
your patch Carolyn, so in your patch do not include the usage of these
(SDRAM_CODT_FEEBBACK_RCV_SINGLE_END and
SDRAM_CODT_FEEBBACK_DRV_SINGLE_END) bits.

According to our AMCC PPC4xx chip hardware designers, the SDRAM_CODT IP
feedback signal is single ended (i.e. SDRAM_CODT bits 29 and 30).

The PPC4xx SDRAM_CODT bits 29 and 30 are reserved non-changeable bits as
they are set in the IP to single-ended mode:

SDRAM_CODT bit 29  0 Sets feedback receiver to differential mode
                   1 Sets feedback receiver to single ended mode (mode
set for the AMCC 4xx SoC chips)
           bit 30  0 Sets feedback driver to differential mode
                   1 Sets feedback driver to single ended mode   (mode
set for the AMCC 4xx SoC chips)


Best,
Adam
