OK, I'll do this then in next respin.

It has one read only bit which we are not emulating so maybe not 
significant but changed it as well for correctness and added some more 
similar registers as well.

I've left it in one patch to avoid having two many patches in the series 
but added it to commit message together with dram_control which also had 
a whitespace removed in same patch.

Before sending v3 I'm waiting if there are any more comments for other 
patches in this series 
(http://patchew.org/QEMU/address@hidden/) but 
looks like David is busy and could not look at them yet. Not sure if 
you've seen these patches but if you have a moment your comments are 
welcome. If no other changes are suggested I'll submit v3 in the coming 
days.

Thank you,
