Hi Rob,
Sorry for missing your message. It has kind of got lost among the
Krzysztof' comments.

I am sure that the DFI IRQ is a part of the DW uMCTl2 DDR controller
specification. The DFI interface has a special signal called
"dfi_alert_n". It is supposed to be supplied to the DDR controller
from the DDR PHY. The signal state indicates the CRC/Parity errors
detected on the address/command sent to the PHY/SDRAM side. Aside with
some other statuses the signal state is reflected in the DW uMCTL2
CRCPARSTAT register. The CSR state in its turn is then sent out via
the corresponding output wire (dfi_err_int) up to the IRQ controller.
So to speak there is no doubts the DFI errors IRQ is a part of the DW
uMCTL2 DDRC IRQs interface.

Regarding the PHY CSR space. You are right. It is a separate device
indeed. I'll drop the PHY CSR region from here.
