Hi Chris,

In a system where the initial u-boot location is genuinely NOR flash (as
opposed to RAM or a cache-line setup by a pre-bootloader) writes to the
data section are problematic. At best these writes have no effect at
worse they put the flash memory into a status mode which changes the
executable code underneath us.

Only write to twsi_control_flags once we know we've relocated to RAM.

I've stumbled over this global data variable also before and would
very much like to get rid of it. Can't you move this variable into
a (newly created) private data struct instead? This is how it needs
to be done in DM (Driver Model) later as well.

BTW: Your platform does not support DM (yet), right?

Thanks,
Stefan
