Once in mainline, you might want to point Phytec to that new, current and well tested code, so they can consoider switching to the mainline version. > But, I'm with you and I flip the #if to use the FLASH.

Yes, "wasting" 128 or even 256 k of flash for "just a few variables" seems to be an expensive thing. But keep in mind that most 52xx systems boot from 0xFFF00000, so the the last megabyte of flash is an excellent place for this (and probably the device tree). > So I'd like to keep them both in place. Would it be better if the > FLASH section was a comment? Indeed, a comment would be better.
