Checked, it works for us.

I think it would be better to exchange the assignments of MEMORYs and
CFGs/IOs when num_viewports <= 2, cause it fixes wrong memory access.

As you mentioned, other corner point for failure is still there while
there are only two viewports. It seems that there is not a perfect
solution.
