I don't consider this a valid reason (reading the SPD EEPROM would be
such a reason).  In almost all other cases it should be suffucient to
configure the maximum number of memory banks and the maximum size of
the memory banks and then use get_ram_size() to determine the actual
amount of memory and to correctly initialize the memory controller.

Note that I don't insist on any changes to existing code here.  This
is just a recommendation which you may (or may not) consider for any
future ports / implementations.


Best regards,

Wolfgang Denk
