OK.

I have that. Are you sure about the e500 CPUs. I have not seen any
MPC85xx board in U-Boot or Linux BSP using FSL UPM. Sometimes these
magic sync instructions seem to be needed, e.g., in the MPC8548 manual I
find:

  "Also, an msync assembly instruction must be executed after each I2C
   register read/write access to guarantee in-order execution."

Can somebody (from freescale?) sched some light on that issue?

TIA.
