There's already a standard way (i.e. JEDEC standard) to define DDR chip
configuration that's called SPD. Why invent something new? While this is
normally an i2c eeprom on a DIMM, there's no reason you couldn't get it
from somewhere else including perhaps the DT. There's already code in
u-boot that can parse SPD data.

In general, is it really feasible to parse the DTB before DDR is
initialized?
