Sorry, but there is an issue. Parameters are const struct *, and you are
setting value here.

By testing I get on most mx6 boards:

+arch/arm/cpu/armv7/mx6/ddr.c: In function 'mx6_dram_cfg':
+arch/arm/cpu/armv7/mx6/ddr.c:279:4: error: assignment of member
'mem_speed' in read-only object
+arch/arm/cpu/armv7/mx6/ddr.c:286:4: error: assignment of member
'mem_speed' in read-only object
+make[4]: *** [spl/arch/arm/cpu/armv7/mx6/ddr.o] Error 1

Best regards,
Stefano
