Dear MJ,

Thanks for your reply.

I don't see the file in my copy. Probably it is not merged yet?
Anyway, you just confirmed what I found so far. Do you use static
setting in dmc_init_ddr3.c? I mean does it adapt to different DDR speeds
and modules (if applicable)?

In my mind, I am thinking to restructure arch/powerpc/cpu/mpc8xxx/ddr/
to driver/ddr/fsl/ so the same driver can be shared as far as the DDR IP
is the same (or similar).
