 Yes, i also thought about having a separate function for OMAP5/DRA.
 I will do that. For the point about disable leveling, it was intentional.
 
 After we are done with a leveling once during boot, we do not intend to
 enable it anymore. We see that the PHY misbehaves by triggering a wrong
 leveling sequence when EMIF hits idle, which results in wrong delay values
 if it is left enabled. I will add this comment in V2
