Previously, SPD configuration of RAM was non functional on this board. Now that the root cause is known (an i2c address conflict), there is a simple end-user workaround - remove the old slower local bus 128MB module and then SPD detection on the main DDR2 memory module works fine.
We make the enablement of the LBC SDRAM support conditional on being not SPD enabled. We can revisit this dependency as the hardware workaround becomes available.
Turning off LBC SDRAM support revealed a couple implict dependencies in the tlb/law code that always expected an LBC SDRAM address.
This has been tested with the default 256MB module, a 512MB a 1GB and a 2GB, of varying speeds, and the SPD autoconfiguration worked fine in all cases.
The default configuration remains to go with the hard coded DDR config, so the default build will continue to work on boards where people don't bother to read the docs. But the advantage of going to the SPD config is that even the small default module gets configured for CL3 instead of CL4.
