These PIOC values configure the PIO_ASR, PIO_BSR, PIO_PDR for bank 'C',
please look up the correct values in your SoC datasheet.

This one configures the EBI_CSA register.

These SDRC values are a bit trickier. They define the required
initialization process of the SDRAM interface of this SoC. You will need
to write some registers in your SoC and then write some data to the
SDRAM, see the datasheet of SoC for correct sequence and to understand
why they are written down that way.

To enable 32MiB NOR flash you will need to setup the correct
PHYS_FLASH_SIZE and all the CONFIG_SYS_*_FLASH_* variables. Changing the
EBI may also be required and maybe also PIOC settings to have enough
address lines.

To enable 32MiB SDRAM you will need to setup CONFIG_SYS_SDRAM_SIZE and
change the CONFIG_SYS_SDRC_CR_VAL and CONFIG_SYS_SDRC_TR_VAL to your
needs. Please look up the correct values in your respective datasheets.

Side note: at91rm9200ek still has 32MiB RAM
