[U-Boot] POST Memory Test Problem

Hi all,

Im using a Freescale QorIQ P1020 custom board, booting from serial NOR
flash (SPI), U-Boot 2014.10.

It was everything OK, then I enabled POST memory test in my config file:

     #define CONFIG_POST CONFIG_SYS_POST_MEMORY


When booting, the output is:

-----

For a lot of u-boot commands (including booting Linux), everything
works fine. But when I execute "version" command I got this error:

-----

Im afraid that this test is hiding another errors, because its testing
the whole DDR range. And in post/tests.c the flag POST_ROM is set, but
booting from NOR flash SPI we are in DDR since the beginning.

Any ideas?

Cheers,
