I was told that some of the RTL is actually deployed if you create a
Verilog DDR3 UniPHY example design for AV/CV system through IP
generation -- that should give you some more specific information. You
may have to create a soft-phy, soft-controller version for it to deploy
the unencrypted RTL.

I'll start this to see if I can find something helpful.
