[U-Boot-Users] MPC85xx: Question about Local Bus initialization

MPC8540 Reference Manual, Page 13-23, LCRR Field Descriptions:
"DLL bypass. This bit should be set when using low bus clock
frequencies if the DLL is unable to lock. When in DLL bypass mode,
incoming data is captured in the middle of the bus clock cycle."

Usually 85xx boot from Flash connected to the Local Bus, so the bootstrap
configuration out of a hard reset need to be correct at first place.
Then, if the bootloader (or later, the kernel) wants to (re-)set it
during runtime, it also has to set the DLL enable bit depending on the
desired target frequency.
