Hi Yogesh,

Could you please use a mailer that is quoting things correctly. I have
a hard time differentiating your replies from mine.

Okay, I'm fine with pre-reserving 32MB per chip select.

Wait, I thought it was supposed to be an absolute address, not one
relative to the 0x20000000 offset.

Yes, I still don't see where it says that having one of the range with
a zero size is forbidden, or anything mentioning a required alignment.

Why? If the SFA1AD is set to zero, that should not, right?
