CM_EMIF_SDRAM_CONFIG is written when regs->zq_config is set and if it's
set then indeed the same value is written there as also written to
AM33XX_EMIF4_0_REG(SDRAM_CONFIG).

I'm fine with either way. Maybe the datasheet gives us a hint which way
to choose? Why is CM_EMIF_SDRAM_CONFIG only written when regs->zq_config
is set? Is this correct?
