Indeed there is a self refresh bit on a DDR related register. I thought
this kind of feature is more likely used for suspend to ram.

We plan to also submit the suspend to ram but not immediately.

I wonder how the others SMP ARM SoCs deal with it, I hope this time
there will be a framework available and we won't have to create it! ;)
