Greetings,

I'm adding support to a 1GiB DDR3 chip that internally has two dies. I have 
configured the i.MX6UL memory controller for using two chip selects and 
assigned 512MiB to each. Although the RAM seems to work fine I'm experiencing 
extremely slow performance compared to a similar 1GiB chip with only one die 
(one chip select).

Testing one mtest loop over the first 496MiB takes:
 - 5s on the single die chip
 - 1m 16s on the dual die chip

I have run different memory benchmark tools in Linux like 
https://github.com/bingmann/pmbw.git and both memories perform similarly, but 
for some reason I see this weird behavior in U-Boot (v2015.04) with 'mtest'. 
The CONFIG_SYS_MEMTEST_START and CONFIG_SYS_MEMTEST_END are defined within 
secure limits and 'mtest' is not failing... it's just very slow.

Am I missing something obvious?
Thanks
