I think that the EMIF controller configuration is a bit special.

As you pointed out - for the whole AM57xx family one EMIF controller
type is used.

The goal here would be to not make the binary smaller, but reducing the
maintanence effort.

Example use case - company X has a product. They are using single u-boot
(with SPL and dts). The only thing, which they need to change is the
data needed for setting up proper memory configuration (DDR2/DDR3,
speed - 1500, 1333, ECC enabled/disabled, module size, etc). This all is
done in EMIF.

With separate EMIF blob configuration they don't need to rebuild u-boot
- they only change memory configuration binary data.

This data has a separate room in the non-volatile memory (e.g. SPI-NOR
flash).

EMIF configuration data is IIRC 128 B at most. It is even possible to
copy 1:1 the binary data to EMIF (as it is now done in the u-boot code).

Hence, the "driver" would boil down to "memcpy".

As stated before, those Ctrl+C and Ctrl+V data are then copied (in for
loop) to the EMIF registers.

Why not wrap EMIF binary data to FIT, store on non-volatile memory and
on each reset read it and "just" copy this data to EMIF? As fallback we
can use the "from excel" structure.

Not all board related info - just EMIF.

DT is not an option here - it would require re-flashing u-boot binary.
