For some reason the AT91rm9200 lowlevel init writes to a bunch of reserved or read-only addresses. All the boards seem to define the value-to-be-written values as zero ... but they shouldn't actually be writing *anything* there.
No documented erratum justifies these accesses. It looks like maybe some pre-release BDI-2000 setup code has been carried along by cargo cult programming since at least late 2004 (per GIT history).
Here's a patch disabling what seems to be bogosity. Tested on a csb337; there were no behavioral changes. --- cpu/arm920t/at91rm9200/lowlevel_init.S | 14 ++------------ include/configs/at91rm9200dk.h | 5 ----- include/configs/at91rm9200ek.h | 5 ----- include/configs/cmc_pu2.h | 5 ----- include/configs/csb637.h | 5 ----- include/configs/m501sk.h | 5 ----- include/configs/mp2usb.h | 5 ----- 7 files changed, 2 insertions(+), 42 deletions(-)
