This is the EMC. The EMC handles the interface with the external DRAM chips.
The MC aggregates and schedules requests to the EMC. It also handles address
translation. See figure 33 of the TRM.

The child "emc-table" node.

This is memory timings.

If it's a binary structure, how would this be passed given the bootloader has
to fill in the training information?
