I'll have to refresh my meat RAM on how U-Boot handles LP0 WRT BCT/scratch regs, but in coreboot I had to 'flush' the updated carveout regs back to the BCT copy in SDRAM so that they'd be properly restored on resume. I only pushed the modified regs (BOM and CFG0, IIRC).  If you have access to Google's coreboot repo, look in src/soc/nvidia/tegra210/sdram_lp0.c, commit ID 920968258. Or just Google for sdram_lp0.c, should be the top hit.
