From: James Hogan <james.ho...@imgtec.com> Commit a427338 (mips_malta: correct reading MIPS revision at 0x1fc00010) altered the behaviour of the monitor flash mapping at the reset address by making it read only. However this causes data bus error exceptions when it is written to since it is effectively unassigned memory for writes. This isn't how the real hardware behaves. That memory can be written to (even with the MFWR jumper not fitted) and the new value read back from, but it doesn't get written back to the monitor flash so is volatile.
This is fixed by converting the bios copy from read only ram to a bios device with a nop write callback.
