Hi Jason

Are you referring to 

Memory Power Management Control Register
Offset: 0x20118

Bit Field Type / Init Val Description
0 GE0_Mem_PD RW GbE0 Memory Power Down:
                 0x0 0 = Functional
                     1 = PowerDown
1 PEX0_Mem_PD RW PCI Express0 Memory Power Down;
                 0x0 0 = Functional
                     1 = PowerDown
2 USB0_Mem_PD RW USB0 Memory Power Down:
                 0x0 0 = Functional
                     1 = PowerDown

etc.

As far as i know, we don't touch it. However, as a debug exercise, it
would be good to print its value at boot, at ethernet driver load
time, after unused clocks are disabled, when the ethernet clock is
enabled by the driver, etc.
