Hmm, you implied otherwise in your original reply. I pushed a new version of the Kconfig patch which always enables writethrough on da830. da850 users who don't want this can simply disable da830 support and the writethrough will be disabled. Boot tested a da8xx_omapl_defconfig kernel on da830 and da850 EVM.
