Why do you need hwconifg for DDR? LS1012A doesn't even use the same DDR controller as other qoriq/layerscape SoCs.

Why do you even need this variable?

This is not used anywhere, except you added it in bootargs below. You can leave it in bootargs if you need it.

Don't you see you already have initrd_high? Why do you want to change it back to 32-bit?

Why on earth do you need this?

I don't know what you were trying to do. This patch is non-sense.
[Bhaskar] Hi York, The intension of the patch is to add ramdisk_size=0x2000000 in bootargs, so is it OK to just add  " ramdisk_size=0x2000000" in the bootargs and remove whatever else have been added in this patch ?
