U-Boot configures the ddr3 with c code in its board code 'lowlevel.c'.
Looking at the code I noticed this special treatment:

static void spl_dram_init(void)
{
...
	/*
	 * Make sure that both aresetn/core_ddrc_rstn and preset/PHY reset
	 * bits are set after WDOG reset event. DDRC_PRST can only be
	 * released when DDRC clock inputs are stable for at least 30 cycles.
	 */
	writel(SRC_DDRC_RCR_DDRC_CORE_RST_MASK | SRC_DDRC_RCR_DDRC_PRST_MASK, &src_regs->ddrc_rcr);
	udelay(500);
...

This writel() set both reset bits, the DDRC_CORE (0x2) and the DDRC_PRST (0x1) of the SRC
register 0x30391000.
Unfortunately, if I try also to set both bits in my DCD table then barebox doesn't boot anymore;
I also tried to port the uboot spl_dram_init(void) to my barebox lowlevel.c and I could eventually
boot barebox with an empty DCD but still adding the second bit (SRC_DDRC_RCR_DDRC_PRST_MASK)
hangs the soc.
