One simple way to verify if has HW issue on this programming is to manually do it with command mm.w: Disable 9007 workaround, boot to U-Boot console: => md 851200c 1 0851200c: 00000000 .... => mm.w 851200c 0851200c: 800c ? 0 0851200e: 0000 ? q => mm.w 851200c 0851200c: 800c ? 8000 0851200e: 0000 ? q => mm.w 851200c 0851200c: 800c ? 8004 0851200e: 0000 ? q => mm.w 851200c 0851200c: 800c ? 800c 0851200e: 0000 ? q See if system will crash. > > 2.
