[U-Boot] FSL DDR3/4 wrlvl_override question

in drivers/ddr/fsl/options.c we have:

#if defined(CONFIG_SYS_FSL_DDR3) || defined(CONFIG_SYS_FSL_DDR4)
	/*
	 * due to ddr3 dimm is fly-by topology
	 * we suggest to enable write leveling to
	 * meet the tQDSS under different loading.
	 */
	popts->wrlvl_en = 1;
	popts->zq_en = 1;
	popts->wrlvl_override = 0;
#endif

Here one disable wrlvl_override no matter what board code wants.
However board code still sets wrlvl_override as it needs specify
a good start value for WRLVL_START DQS[0], just like one do for
the other DQS[X] in WRLVL_CNTL_2/3

How about remove the above popts->wrlvl_override = 0; line?



Furthermore drivers/ddr/fsl/ctrl_regs.c I think set_ddr_wrlvl_cntl()
should be adjusted to(or similar):

        }


so that board not using auto WRLVL a chance to specify these parameters.

I am no expert on DDR so I might be totally off here ...
