imgtec/pistachio: DDR row/bank/column mapping
The DRAM configuration register, apart from holding the device density and width also has a rudimentary address mapping scheme. Currently this is set to the default Bank/Row/Column. This means that the memory is segmented into 8 chunks, each with a page detector. If all the activity is in one section of memory then the other 7 page detectors could be idle. Changing this to Row/Bank/Column would concatenate the page detectors meaning that all 8 could be used by a single initiator. This may not gain anything in a synthetic bandwidth test but could yield extra performance in a real world application or benchmark. BRANCH=none BUG=chrome-os-partner:37087 TEST=tested on Pistachio bring up board -> DDR initialized properly; all access to DDR works properly in Coreboot ramstage, Depthcharge and Linux; no performance tests were ran so far.
