[U-Boot] [PATCH] i2c: mvtwsi: avoid writing to twsi_control_flags prior to relocation

In a system where the initial u-boot location is genuinely NOR flash (as
opposed to RAM or a cache-line setup by a pre-bootloader) writes to the
data section are problematic. At best these writes have no effect at
worse they put the flash memory into a status mode which changes the
executable code underneath us.

Only write to twsi_control_flags once we know we've relocated to RAM.
