Yes, it is.

OK. But how ? I enable CS0 and CS1 on DCD table. Is there any way to
tell barebox not to use CS1 ?

I have tried it, but I have not be able to implement a code for
autodetect. If the code write or read a value on a position without
physical  chip, the microcontroller hangs. ????

But it's not a problem. A solution is configure both CS and MMU. If
bootloader don't access to high positions, there is not problem. After
I set a environment variable with memory size and the mem kernel
parameter (or ATAG) does the rest.

So, I have to make sure Barebox don't reach CS1 memory positions. That is all.

Thanks for your help. See you later.
