Hello Heiko,
Thank you for your reply. I have just noticed that the patches have
already been pulled into arm/next so I guess I am quite late with my
comments. I'd like to apologize for this; apparently I need another
email filter that also filters for messages containing "am1808" and
not only "da850" ;-)
Which brings me to my next point: AFAIK Texas Instruments's AM18xx
SoCs, their OMAP-L138, and their DA850 based devices basically differ
only in the DSP/PRU part of the device. If you are (like in u-boot)
only interested in the ARM part of chip, they are basically the same
device. For some reason the Linux kernel and u-boot support for all
these devices is labelled da850... Although I have no hardware to test
it, I guess that your DDR memory controller initialization code could
be used for the OMAP-L138 and the corresponding Davinci device as
well. So since all code in u-boot for the entire device family is
labelled da850... I guess your DDR initialization functions should get
this prefix as well for consistency. Any comments from the
maintainers/TI employees who know these devices better than I do?

Ok. Actually you do LPSC transitions twice in your board
configuration, first in the low level initialization in
arch/arm/cpu/arm926ejs/davinci/am1808_lowlevel.c (using your own
function) and then again in your board initialization in
board/enbw/enbw_cmc/enbw_cmc.c (using the code in
arch/arm/cpu/arm926ejs/davinci/psc.c). I assume you ran into the same
problem as I did with the da850evm board. The UART is used before it
is turned on in the board_init() function. A few weeks ago I submitted
a patch [1][2] for this issue but did not get any comments on it.
Would you mind having a look at it so we could find a common solution
for both your configuration and the da850evm?
Regards, Christian
