Above the two changes improved DDR3 stability at extended temperature
ranges above 83C.

1) The first change from 0x64656465 to 0x64646464 removes the weak pull
     on the DQ lines. Otherwise the DQ line was not staying at Vref when IDLE (retreats
     to ground) and because of this there were extra transitions and noise.

 2) The second change was to enable internal VREF_DQ_OUT which otherwise was at 0V.

Hope this helps. BTW, i will repost with a better commit log. Sorry.
