Why don't you do it as usually done. Just define the EBC register settings in 
your board header and they will get automatically written to the EBC registers 
in arch/powerpc/cpu/ppc4xx/cpu.c, cpu_init_f():

Defines in bluestone.h like this:

/* Memory Bank 0 (NOR-flash) */
#define CONFIG_SYS_EBC_PB0AP	(EBC_BXAP_BME_DISABLED		|	\
				 EBC_BXAP_TWT_ENCODE(16)	|	\
				 EBC_BXAP_BCE_DISABLE		|	\
				 EBC_BXAP_BCT_2TRANS		|	\
				 EBC_BXAP_CSN_ENCODE(1)		|	\
				 EBC_BXAP_OEN_ENCODE(1)		|	\
				 EBC_BXAP_WBN_ENCODE(1)		|	\
				 EBC_BXAP_WBF_ENCODE(1)		|	\
				 EBC_BXAP_TH_ENCODE(7)		|	\
				 EBC_BXAP_RE_DISABLED		|	\
				 EBC_BXAP_SOR_DELAYED		|	\
				 EBC_BXAP_BEM_WRITEONLY		|	\
				 EBC_BXAP_PEN_DISABLED)
#define CONFIG_SYS_EBC_PB0CR	
(EBC_BXCR_BAS_ENCODE(CONFIG_SYS_BOOT_BASE_ADDR) | \
				 EBC_BXCR_BS_16MB		|	\
				 EBC_BXCR_BU_RW			|	\
				 EBC_BXCR_BW_16BIT)

I can't find CONFIG_SDRAM_INFO_EEPROM_ADDR either. Where is it used?

Thanks.
