On i.MX51 the DCD data is indeed much simpler, there are no 'check' or
'nop' commands. Instead the only command is 'wm' for write memory. You
can only choose the access width. The additional commands I mentioned
only exist on i.MX53 and newer. I just realized that most of the system
boot description is missing in the i.MX51 Reference Manual and wonder
how I ever managed to boot this successfully. Have a look in the i.MX35
Reference Manual, the DCD layout is described there. It should be
identical on i.MX51.

Not all modules can be accessed with DCD data. Information again is
missing in the i.MX51 Manual, but the i.MX35 Manual has "Table 7-11. DCD
Valid Modules". GPIO is missing in this table, so you can't access it
with DCD data. It's probably the same on i.MX51.
