Memory map
----------
The addresses in brackets are physical addresses.

0x0_0000_0000 (0x0_0000_0000) - 0x0_7fff_ffff   2GB DDR (more than 2GB is initialized but not mapped under with TLB)
0x0_8000_0000 (0xc_0000_0000) - 0x0_dfff_ffff 1.5GB PCIE memory
0x0_f000_0000 (0xf_0000_0000) - 0x0_f1ff_ffff  32MB DCSR (includes trace buffers)
0x0_f400_0000 (0xf_f400_0000) - 0x0_f5ff_ffff  32MB BMan
0x0_f600_0000 (0xf_f600_0000) - 0x0_f7ff_ffff  32MB QMan
0x0_f800_0000 (0xf_f800_0000) - 0x0_f803_ffff 256KB PCIE IO
0x0_e000_0000 (0xf_e000_0000) - 0x0_efff_ffff 256MB NOR flash
0x0_fe00_0000 (0xf_fe00_0000) - 0x0_feff_ffff  16MB CCSR
0x0_ffdf_0000 (0xf_ffdf_0000) - 0x0_ffdf_03ff   4KB QIXIS
0x0_ffff_f000 (0x0_7fff_fff0) - 0x0_ffff_ffff   4KB Boot page translation for secondary cores

The physical address of the last (boot page translation) varies with the actual DDR size.

Voltage ID and VDD override
--------------------
T4240 has a VID feature. U-boot reads the VID efuses and adjust the voltage
accordingly. The voltage can also be override by command vdd_override. The
syntax is

vdd_override <voltage in mV>, eg. 1050 is for 1.050v.

Upon success, the actual voltage will be read back. The value is checked
for safety and any invalid value will not adjust the voltage.

Another way to override VDD is to use environmental variable, in case of using
command is too late for some debugging. The syntax is

setenv t4240qds_vdd_mv <voltage in mV>
saveenv
reset

The override voltage takes effect when booting.

Note: voltage adjustment needs to be done step by step. Changing voltage too
rapidly may cause current surge. The voltage stepping is done by software.
Users can set the final voltage directly.
