From: Ye Li <ye.li at nxp.com>

The ECC scruber setting is incorrect and decreases the DDR performance
in ECC enabled mode.

Detail changes:
-Before, scrub_burst was 0; this is not allowed per SNPS umctl2 spec.
 Set to "2" to align with DXL whichw as found to be most optimal setting
-Before, scrub_interval was set to 1, which means back-to-back scrubber
 reads will occur very frequently, potentially effecting performance.
-Set scrub_interval to 0xFF which is the default value. However, users
 can tune this to meet their system needs.
