Thats what I mentioned in my comment. I also don't know why such a bad
hardware choice was made when we have perfectly working EMIF IP across
low power states. Even the self refresh control is managed inside
hardware upon idle. My guess is DDR self-refresh might be the reason
to use OCMC RAM.
In either case, Keeping EMIF changes separate as part of EMIF
driver/platform code is right way to go about it. May be the
disable_selfrefresh() might need to kept in assembly files since it
needs to be running from SRAM but rest need not be part of
PM code.
