Hello Gong Qianyu,

added Stefano Babic to cc as he is the imx maintainer.

This could avoid executing the code that only applies to i.MX platforms.

The bus_i2c_init() is called before relocation and will assgin value
to a static variable. If U-Boot is then still running in a flash
device, it's theoretically not allowed to write data to flash without
an erasing operation. For i.MX platforms, the U-Boot is always running
in DDR.

Actually it causes asynchronous error when the ARM64 system error
report is enabled and the flash write protect is set.

Ok, from my side, but it would be better to switch your board(s)
to support DM and get rid of this old stuff from this driver.
