Some boards may occacionally fail DDR training. Currently we hang() in this case. Add an option that makes the board do an immediate reset in such a case, so that a new training is tried as soon as possible, instead of hanging and possibly waiting for watchdog to reset the board.

I'm wondering a bit, if we could/should make this a global Kconfig symbol, so that other boards/platforms might use it as well. But we can always generalize this at a later point.
