Hi Gregory,

Thanks for following up.

Yes I owe a v2. I was actually waiting to see Jan's series applied 
before sending my additions which build upon it. I'm traveling right now 
so it'll probably be at least a week before I'm able to send the next 
iteration.

Last I saw there was some comments from Boris on v2 of that series that 
needed addressing. Not sure if Jan has time to look at them. If not I 
can have a go when I get back.

Will do.

Yes that's fine. I'm now doing some work on and Armada-38x platform and 
I realize that that also has the narrower DDR interface (as does the 375 
I believe). I was planning on using that as the compatible string since 
it's much better known than the integrated switch asic + CPU I've been 
working with.
