ERRATA DESCRIPTION :
The EMIF supports power-down state for low power. The EMIF
automatically puts the SDRAM into power-down after the memory is
not accessed for a defined number of cycles and the
EMIF_PWR_MGMT_CTRL[10:8] REG_LP_MODE bit field is set to 0x4.
As the EMIF supports automatic output impedance calibration, a ZQ
calibration long command is issued every time it exits active
power-down and precharge power-down modes. The EMIF waits and
blocks any other command during this calibration.
The EMIF does not allow selective disabling of ZQ calibration upon
exit of power-down mode. Due to very short periods of power-down
cycles, ZQ calibration overhead creates bandwidth issues and
increases overall system power consumption. On the other hand,
issuing ZQ calibration long commands when exiting self-refresh is
still required.

WORKAROUND :
Because there is no power consumption benefit of the power-down due
to the calibration and there is a performance risk, the guideline
is to not allow power-down state and, therefore, to not have set
the EMIF_PWR_MGMT_CTRL[10:8] REG_LP_MODE bit field to 0x4.

Ok. So the errata is limited to only 'EMIF_4D' version and not applicable
for next EMIF version used in OMAP5 devices, right ? If yes, would be good
to just mention that in already good changelog.

s/rallback/rollback ?

Yes, it is not applicable for EMIF_4D5 used in OMAP5 ES2.0 Soc's.
Ill update this in change log.
