Yes I think too :-)

Dear Wolfgang,

I don't know if I want to jump also into these changes now - especially since 
I am quite new here..
But for my intererst - since it seems more error tolerant: How is SDRAM timing 
set up without exactly knowing what type is connected? Is there a good example 
implementation in u-boot(-spl)?

Best regards

Andreas
