For what it is worth, would it be possible to have a more verbose error
message that actually provides a reference to what needs to be done,
rather than simply failing with an obscure message about DRAM configuration?

I ended up bisecting the tree to find the commit, and suitable
references for what needs to be done to get a board working again, after
searching "git log -p" for "SDRAM" got me nowhere.

Surely having e.g.

#if (not fixed config)
#error See http://blah/blah/blah for information about how to fix your board
#endif

would be more beneficial than an obscure compiler failure that doesn't
even reference useful keywords?
