arm/omap3: limit chip select iteration based on board config
PATCH 1/1 arm/omap3: limit chip select iteration based on board config
Only attempt to configure and add DRAM at chip select 1 if the board has configured more than one bank of DRAM.
This prevents boards that have CONFIG_NR_DRAM_BANKS set to 1 from getting an incorrect DRAM size.

OK, what problem (and on what board) are you seeing? Many boards only have CS0 populated with DRAM but when we try and configure CS1 the mem_ok() call fails and we don't try and use it, so we don't get a wrong amount of memory. Thanks!

This is on an OMAP3EVM-derived board with 64 MiB of fixed Micron MDDR DRAM.
The board is bootstrapped in second stage boot using X-Loader 1.46 (it'll move to U-Boot SPL really soon now). The original X-Loader 1.46 + U-Boot 2010.09 went successfully as follows:

In past PPC boards, I've seen routines like mem_ok fail because of memory aliasing; however, I didn't dive into mem_ok in this instance to see if that what was happening as the proposed patch seems simpler: for this board, simply don't poke@or try to use memory we already know isn't there.
Best,
Grant

That makes sense; however, I have deployed boards in the field for which an in-place X-Loader update isn't trivial and for which interoperability is key. In light of that, are you willing to accept the patch?
* For CONFIG_NR_DRAM_BANKS set to 1, we get interop with old second stage boot such as X-Loader.
* For CONFIG_NR_DRAM_BANKS set to 2 (most boards) the behavior is exactly as it is without the patch.
What do you think?
Thanks,
Grant

This an ugly hack which I do not want to see in mainline. If you really think you need that, then please maintain it yourself out of tree. Thanks.
