Wow, it seems I mixed it with OMAP57xx TRM. Good catch!

Why? OMAP4 devices have 0x6 revision of GPMC, and as I remember they don't
define SOC_OMAP5. So this logic enables limited address capability for OMAP4.
Am I missing something?

Ok, let's drop this patch then. Anyway, I'm gonna reuse it next week
for another patch
(I want to make it possible to enable/disable limited address mode via
dts bool option).
Also, can you point me out where I can read about RESERVED bit should
be always 0?
