Not really. At least not in a reproducible way. I spent long
hours running Lindent, recursive-replace tools and especially
manual code inspection and re-formatting on this huge code.
Still the outcome is far from perfect, but hopefully better
that the original version.

Did you compare all DDR register values (the "good" ones and the "bad"
ones) and only the the 2T timing is different?

Has the style changed in between the Marvell versions as well? I
have not looked into this code for quite some time.

Please find some scripts attached, I've located that I have used while
doing this porting.
Thanks,
