Got your point. This omap_cfg_reg throws a warning if the pad is incorrectly 
configured. The goal is to better track the problem in case of a wrong/older 
bootloader. In the ideal world the bootloader and kernel should match and do 
it all right!

The kernel boots fine in that case, only the SDRAM contents are not preserved 
when going to low power mode.
