Yes I had similar thoughts and I think it could work like this:
1) Execute code from ROM
2) There, issue the self refresh cycling to memory controller
3) turn off clocks for memory
4) do whatever else
5) restore clocks/just exit from self refresh (same code as S3 resume)
In theory it could be possible to shift frequency / settings this way, however
DQS strobing fine tunes might make it impossible.
Thanks
