No patch is needed, all support for  the  CPM  you  need  is  already
available  in  U-Boot.  ["cpm2"  ist just a term for a specific Linux
implementation. None of this is needed for U-Boot.  U-Boot  uses  the
"old" or "classic" approach to support the CPM.]

Check your memory map,  and  if  your  board  config  file  correctly
implements  this  memory  map.  Then  attach a debugger and check why
the accesses are failing.

Best regards,

I wish Captain Vimes were here. He wouldn't have  known  what  to  do
either, but he's got a much better vocabulary to be baffled in.
