Add a comment about the tRAS lockout setting of HW_DRAM_CTL08 to
enable the 'Fast Auto Pre-Charge' found in the memory chip. The
setting is applied after memory initialization and it is worth
document it.

This does not explain why it must be here and not in the dram_vals table. It 
would be nice to explain it here, since it'd prevent others from sending patch 
stuffing it into the dram_vals table without knowing it must definitelly be 
here.

But why does it have to be here? I wonder ...

Ok; I will extend the comment.

Yes; I don't know as well. We may try to find it out in future but for
now let's keep it as is.

Will change it for v2.
