This may be not doable. We have Asus TF101 which doesn't use RAM code
for the memory identification, instead it uses LPDDR chip info [1]. I
will send the LPDDR patches later on.

The TF101 support mostly in a completed state now, we still need to try
to figure out why upstream kernel doesn't work using a stock Android
bootloader, so far bootloader replacement to u-boot is required.
