Have you also tested without this patch first too? On which SoC?
My tests had shown that this is not required on i.MX51. It's probably the same on i.MX53. I have not checked if i.MX25 and i.MX35 also have such a bit, but they also work fine as is. This is not even done by Freescale: http://git.freescale.com/git/cgit.cgi/imx/linux-2.6-imx.git/tree/drivers/cha...
In the Reference Manual, nothing says in the IIM / fuse chapters that this bit is needed for proper programming. It is just described in the CCM register map, and nothing refers to it. It is perhaps only useful for test purposes. I'd vote for letting this bit untouched if possible.
Fabio, do you have more information from Freescale about this bit?
Best regards, Benoît
