Glad to hear you figured it out! Yes, if internal clock exceeds the spec anything
can happen -- results are undefined, including internal mem.

I have seen the same issue before with some Micron SDRAMs. In the DSP code framework
we use on our company's products, we have a boot-time initialization routine that
reads all external mem locations at least once before turning control over to
DSP/BIOS + CSL.
