Hello Gong Qianyu,
added Stefano Babic to cc as he is the imx maintainer.

This could avoid executing the code that only applies to i.MX platforms.
The bus_i2c_init() is called before relocation and will assgin value to a static variable. If U-Boot is then still running in a flash device, it's theoretically not allowed to write data to flash without an erasing operation. For i.MX platforms, the U-Boot is always running in DDR.
Actually it causes asynchronous error when the ARM64 system error report is enabled and the flash write protect is set.

Ok, from my side, but it would be better to switch your board(s) to support DM and get rid of this old stuff from this driver.

bye, Heiko
Thanks. But I have no control over this driver. Maybe they are considering to convert it later.
Regards, Qianyu
