[U-Boot] Wrong RAM Size on Devkit8000

Hi,

I'm currently testing u-boot 2013.04 with SPL on a Devkit8000 with 256MB
of RAM.

Trouble is, it only detects 128MB of RAM. The x-loader found on the NAND
detects 256MB and works perfectly with it.

I obviously tried to change the mcfg field of the timings structure to
be at MICRON_V_MCFG_165(256 << 20), however, while it obviously detects
256MB of RAM, it then crashes quite badly when booting to a userspace
(and actually using that much RAM I guess). It works perfectly fine
though with only 128MB of RAM, so I think the timings are ok.

Any ideas on how to solve this?
