[coreboot] What is the rule of the SPD address assignment if there are more that 8 dimm slots?

The board tht I am working on has 2 process. Each of them has 6 DIMM slots. If you
plug 1 dimm into each slot, the SPD address will be,
  Channel  PCB
  ----------------
P0:
  DIMMA0   50h
  DIMMA1   51h
  DIMMA2   52h
  DIMMB0   53h
  DIMMB1   54h
  DIMMB2   55h
P1:
  DIMMA0   50h
  DIMMA1   51h
  DIMMA2   52h
  DIMMB0   53h
  DIMMB1   54h
  DIMMB2   55h
If you plug 1 dimm in P0DIMMA0 and the other in P1DIMA0, the SPD address
will be 50h and 55h.

So I am confused. If we got an active spd 0x50 on the SMBUS, what will it be?
It seems that we can not plug more that 8 dimm even if we have 12 slots, correct?
