Right.  It's been a while since I linked it, but:
https://patchwork.ozlabs.org/project/uboot/patch/1500407318-7977-1-git-send-email-trini@konsulko.com/
is what I use for migrating non-obvious values to Kconfig.  So I used
that to print out all of these, I'm pretty sure before and after.

So they shouldn't be asked and should be:
config SYS_FOO
	hex
	default 0xBEEF

in the board Kconfig files.  And the help part of
drivers/ddr/fsl/Kconfig updated to explain where/how to figure out or
find the appropriate values.
