Until recently, there was a binding for Tegra20 EMC in mainline. We
should make sure the Tegra124 driver (or rather binding...) is at least
as feature-ful as that was.
Furthermore, I thought that with some boards, there were more RAM
options that there were available RAM code strap bits. I assume that in
mainline, we'll simply have different base DT files for the different
sets of configurations? Or, will we want to add another level to the DT
to represent different sets of RAM code values? I'm not sure what data
source the bootloader uses to determine which set of RAM configuration
to use when there aren't enough entries in the BCT for the boot ROM to
do this automatically, and whether we have any way to get that value
into the kernel, so it could use it for the extra DT level lookup?
