[U-Boot] U-Boot Crashes with Dumps

[anupbehare at gmail.com]

I am using board having ppc440x5 core with customized chip and not a  
standard 440Gx.

Board is using Denali controller, as the register are completely different  
we can not use the standard u-boot initialization.
We performed board specific initialization and training for DDR2.

When the code enter into board_init_r() console shows following messages:

Top of RAM usable for U-Boot at: 20000000
Reserving 178k for U-Boot at: 1ffd3000
Reserving 1040k for malloc() at: 1fecf000

We tried to debug it with BDI as per steps given @  
http://www.denx.de/wiki/view/DULG/DebuggingUBoot#Section_10.1.2.

We have verified by using BDI that uboot code is placed in DDR, but getting  
an exception and u-boot is in continuously reboot mode.

Will it ok if we disable the MSR for ME,EE,CE? Or still it looks DDR  
initialization issue ?
