Commit f1d2b313c9eb6808d30c16a9eb5251240452a56c, which introduced relocation, also added some ifdef to panic for no flash is found but some is expected. This is policy, in my opinion, and should not be part of the boot loader like it wasn't there earlier.
This is mandatory to have the versatile port work on qemu, where flash has never been correctly identified without any side effect on the usefulness of the emulation.

Sorry, but I reject this patch. This is common code that has always been there (at least in the reference implementation on Power; it was a bug that got fixed that this was missing before in ARM).
If you do not have NOR flash, then you should not enable it (and define CONFIG_SYS_NO_FLASH). Otherwise, you are supposed to have flash memory.
If there are problems with the Qemu emulation of NOR flash these should be fixed there.
Best regards,
Wolfgang Denk
