[LinuxBIOS] E7501 SDRAM command bug?

[Steven J. Magnani]

I am working on a substantial rewrite of E7501's raminit.c to get it
into a form that is easier to understand. I'll fix it there. But the
changes may be too radical for the LB community-at-large, and probably
won't be available for a few weeks.

yes, that is a wrong sequence. boundaries should always be set LAST.

do you want to take a stab at fixing this?
