[U-Boot] Socfpga: configure FPGA to SDRAM interface without reprogramming the FPGA

Hi all,
Here is another question on the FPGA to SDRAM interface of the Cyclone V SoC.
Is is possible to configure the the interface in U-Boot or SPL,
without reprogramming the FPGA? Maybe through the usage of the generated
header files from the Quartus synthesis?
The SDRAM controller's registers only differ in eight entries in Linux when the
FPGA is programmed or not.

+----------+-------------+------------+----------------+
| address  |    name     | programmed | not programmed |
+----------+-------------+------------+----------------+
| FFC25064 |             | 00044003   | 00044FFF       |
| FFC25068 |             | 2C000000   | 2C03FFFF       |
| FFC2506c |             | 00B00000   | 00B3FFFF       |
| FFC25070 |             | 00760000   | 0076FFFF       |
| FFC25074 |             | 00980000   | 0098FFFF       |
| FFC25078 |             | 0005A003   | 0005AFFF       |
| FFC2507c | portcfg     | 00000000   | 0000003F       |
| FFC25080 | fpgaportrst | 000001FF   | 00000000       |
+----------+-------------+------------+----------------+

The registers 0xFFC25064-0xFFC25078 don't show up on the HPS' memory map
[1], so are they even intended to be configured?

Thanks
