This patch fixes the freescale spi driver for CPM. Without this patch SPI on CPM failed because cpm_muram_alloc_fixed tries to allocate muram in an preserved area. The error reported was: mpc8xxx_spi f0011a80.spi: can't allocate spi parameter ram mpc8xxx_spi: probe of f0011a80.spi failed with erro

Mike: > It is not a permanent damage thing. A "read disturb" does no permanent damage to the chip but if the read disturb event involves more bits than can be corrected by your ECC code, it can do permanent damage to the *DATA* you've stored in that block. For this reason, a good flash
