So you have 512MiB on each chip select, so I assume that on the 512MiB
board variants CS1 is not equipped. In that case you can in lowlevel.c
test if you find SDRAM on CS1 and if not, disable the chip select
completely in the SDRAM controller.
I am not sure how you can detect if there's SDRAM on CS1. I've seen
situations in which the board just hangs if you access non existent RAM
areas.
