T1040QDS-D3 has dual-rank DDR:
	Micron, MT18KSF51272AZ-1G6 (4GB, x72, CL=10).
Add Raw Timing structure for this DDR.

Typically SPD method is used for getting DDR parameter
and calculating values for various DDR controller registers.

But somentimes it may happen that SPD present on DDR may get
accidently erased or is not working properly during initial
bring-up. In that circumnstance, DDR raw timing structure can be
use as fallback option for getting DDR parameters.

I don't think it is appropriate to use raw timing for this application.
This board use DIMMs, not soldered DDR chips. In normal cases, this
piece of code is not used. It is only useful if you have a DIMM without
a valid SPD. You could get another DIMM. I am not saying this patch is
wrong, it is just useless for general public.

[Jain Priyanka-B32167]  You are right that in case of DIMM type of memories, raw timing may not be required. 
But there are certain scenarios in which keeping raw timing is useful like
1)During initial bring-up, there is a possibility that I2C bus may be broken, 
In that case boot-loader has to rely on the fallback option of raw timing.
2)Also raw timings are used in emulator to test t1040.
So, we prefer to keep raw timing as fallback option.

Regards
Priyanka

It is a debug technique, not an implementation. You can use fixed register setting as well for debugging. But it doesn't mean you have to keep it in the final code. After you cleaning up the code, all "fixed" code should be removed, including the raw timing parameters you are using. Emulator target also has I2C EEPROM modeled. You should use SPD as well.

Ok,
I will drop this patch and maintain it locally.
