yes, this is why I added the note to the commit message. The RAM
timings of the board you are using have been created with a old version
of the spreadsheet ( < version 19 for i.MX8MM).
This issue is worked around when this patch is reverted as
DDRC_ADDRMAP7 is not taken into account. But calculating big ram sizes
will probably not work then.

I have set the DDRC_ADDRMAP7 register manually in the RAM configuration
in such a case. As I don't see a solution that fits for all. But would
be happy for one. :)

Regards,
Teresa
