Hi Jagan,
Thanks for your hard work. I'm sure everyone in the Rockchip community
is excited about finally having this support in U-Boot.

I strongly agree with Vasily, and I don't think multiple series makes it any
better.
What's the reason for having two commits for:
"ram: rk3399: Set lpddr4 MR3" and "ram: rk3399: Set lpddr4 MR12" ?
Or splitting all the "ram: rk3399: Add ... macro" ?
What do you loose if you merge the patches into one?
I must confess I am very surprised, and don't really understand what do you
gain with this excessive split. Normally, when we are adding a new feature,
we normally don't need many patches, so it's the other way around, really.
Bisectability is about not breaking existing support, but because the feature
is new, normally this is easy.
Thanks again!
Eze
