[PATCH] mx6: ddr: Subtract half a cycle instead of three quarters of a cycle after DQS gating calibration

The current DRAM calibration sequence is implemented based on NXP
AN4467 Rev.2 03/2015, which in chapter "12.3.2 Calibration Sequence
Setup with Predefined Data Content" states:
"
9. For each of the DQSx:
- Read the HW_DG_UPx value from the MMDC0/1_MPDGHWSTx, subtract the
value of 0xc0 (3/4 cycle).
"
However, the i.MX 6Solo/6DualLite Applications Processor Reference
Manual, Rev. 5, 05/2020, chapter "45.11.3.1.2 Hardware DQS Calibration
with pre-defined value" states:
"
35. Set (MPDGHWSTn[HW_DG_UPn][10:7] - 1) to MPDGCTRLn[DG_HC_DELn].
(We set the DQS gating value to be the upper limit value minus
1 half cycle)
"
The i.MX 6Dual/6Quad Applications Processor Reference Manual, Rev. 6,
05/2020, chapter 44.11.3.1.2 Hardware DQS Calibration with pre-defined
value lists the same information. So do the following manuals:
- i.MX 6DualPlus/6QuadPlus Applications Processor Reference Manual, Rev. 3, 05/2020
chapter 46.11.3.1.2 Hardware DQS Calibration with pre-defined value
- i.MX 6SoloX Applications Processor Reference Manual, Rev. 4, 05/2020
chapter 40.11.3.1.2 Hardware DQS Calibration with pre-defined value
- i.MX 6UltraLite Applications Processor Reference Manual, Rev. 2, 03/2017
chapter 33.11.3.1.2 Hardware DQS Calibration with pre-defined value
- i.MX 6ULL Applications Processor Reference Manual, Rev. 1, 11/2017
chapter 35.11.3.1.2 Hardware DQS Calibration with pre-defined value
- i.MX 6ULZ Applications Processor Reference Manual, Rev. 0, 10/2018
chapter 29.11.3.1.2 Hardware DQS Calibration with pre-defined value
The NXP MMDC DDR Stress Test (3.0.0) tool seems to be have the same
way as the later document rather than the AN4467 application note,
and produces values similar to the values with subtracted 1/2 cycle.
Adjust the behavior to match the more recent Reference Manual and
the MMDC calibration tool.
Winbond W634GU6RB does show sporadic signs of instability without
this correction.
