Right, for am335x we just always do BCH8 in hardware (can't easily make
SW matching BCH8).  Once we have BCH16 it'll also be automatic switching
since that's what the ROM does and we always want to be ROM-compatible.

You should be able to come up with optimal ones with your DDR data sheet
and the TRM at hand.

Ah, so it's not quite right :(  Other platforms support multiple
interfaces, but I don't know how they're setup.

A comment above please, roughly to that effect?

Thanks!

No, that's fine, just making sure it's really there.
