Soren is talking about different solution which I have tried to push to mainline
in that thread above. OCM configuration is discoverable through system controller
to find out which configuration is used.

>From this simple sram block it looks like that it is 64k of memory but
it is just one block which can live in low or high address (at 0x0 or 0xfffc0000)
based on controller configuration.

In total there are 4 blocks with low and high locations.
