Yes, you are right. It must skip the initialization, because the code itself
runs already from SDRAM. When you would stop the SDRAM controller in this
case it would crash your machine.
You must ensure your routines can detect the case where they already run from
the SDRAM area (I do not know the details how the S3C2440 and S34C2443
differ).

Juergen
