Yes, the DT is copied verbatim from Linux. I have updated the commit 
message to mention 6.3 and include the hash. (There have been no changes

I had it there originally, but moved it in v5 of the patch series. There 
is a lot of board-specific (or at least architecture-specific) logic in 
this file. For example the sequence of steps to setup the clocks and 
interconnect, prior to bringing the DDR controller out of reset. This 
depends on choices made by the RZ/N1 designers, rather than the CDNS IP 
that drivers/ram/cadence is aiming to cover.

Likewise for some board-specific PHY settings, and choices such as 
operating in async mode.

I moved it to board-specific directory as an interim step. Hopefully we 
can do some consolidation of the multiple CDNS DDR controller 
implementations, and then figure out the right way to split things up.

For now this seemed like the less-bad option.

Will do.

I was sure at the time when I wrote it, however I just tried removing it 
now and it seems to work fine.

Done.

Good catch, done.
