nb/intel/sandybridge/raminit: Fix CAS Write Latency
As documented in DDR3 spec for MR2 the CWL is based on DDR frequency. There's no to little difference for most memory modules operating at DDR3-1333. It might fix problems for memory modules that operate at a higher frequency and memory modules with low CL values should work even better. Tested on Lenovo T420 with DDR3-1333 CL9 and DDR3-1600 CL11. No regressions found.
