Looks good, but you can optimze even further...

Make this u8 instead of u32 (saves 5*3 = 15 bytes):
+	static const u8 adwSDRAMArgCfg0[] = { 0xa0, 0x80, 0xa0, 0xa0, 0xa0 };

> +	static const u32 adwSDRAMCfg1[] = { 0x8732, 0x8732, 0xa732, 0xa732, 0x8732 };

u16

u8...

Can you change that (test compile) and resend?
