I just cut & pasted the code from i2c-rpc.c. Apparently the lines

/* Check for and use a microcode relocation patch.        */
if ((data->reloc = data->iip->iic_rpbase))
	data->iip = (iic_t *)&cp->cp_dpmem[data->iip->iic_rpbase];

caused the problem! Since I don't use the I added a #ifdef 
USE_IIC_PATCH around this line just like DENX did in their i2c-r360.c.

Now everything seems to be fine again! :o)

So sorry for the noise!

But again:

What do I need the UCODE_PATCH for?

Thanks,

Steven
