An alterantive is to let BROM load it. BROM has support for a custom
header on the loaded boot binary, and is where Allwinner store hardware
properties needed by the bootloader.

Today we do not use this area in the SPL, but it's trivial to add. Have
always been the intention to have DRAM parameters there.
