Well, from my point of view original kernel code is correct in this part.

Adding one bit into memory address means multiplying memory size by 2 
i.e. cs=2. The question is: is Chip Select bit used in memory address. 
ChipSelect input of memory chip enables or disabled it, so if we have 
only one BankSel installed/connected (DDR0_10[22:23] is 01 or 10) 
there's no need to use Chip Select bit in an address. On the contrary, 
if both BankSel lines are connected (DDR0_10[22:23] is 11), to let 
memory controller know which memory rank to use, Chip Select bit is 
added into memory address. (and yes, if DDR0_10[22:23] is 00 - no ranks 
installed, memory size is 0, cs=0)

Original kernel code use exactly the same logic as I described above. 
Please suggest if it's wrong.
