The pleasure was all mine. I will test SPL on my board and in case that's working I think it still makes sense to move our common code into one file. Is arch/arm/mach-imx/mx53_dram.c the best location for it?
At first I tried board/freescale/common/ but in that case I needed to use ugly relative pathes in the Makefiles "../../"
