Come on. Anybody who does NOT know the exact memory map of a system
(and is able to define it as needed) is obviously not in a position to
port U-Boot to this hardware.
This is basic knowledge.

And this uses it incorrectly, like all ARM boards, if I'm not wrong.
Well, there is a ton of other boards besides the ones manufactured by
Freescale, including many that use Freescale chips.
I am not to blame if Freescale did not pick up a number of design
concepts.
