well, this code comes from Freescale and if everything was perfect it 
wouldn't be necessary as this is an errata fix so I'm not sure this can 
be considered as a code to optimize.

Moreover it follows exactly what is suggested in the workaround 
described on page 8 of this PDF : 
http://cache.freescale.com/files/32bit/doc/errata/MCIMX31CE.pdf so I'm 
not sure we should modify it.

The other function they sent me had even more duplicated lines than this 
one so it's difficult to know what is necessary and what isn't.

I can test it with your suggestions but the extra mov & mrc may be there 
to add instructions cycle between each mcr to be sure the workaround 
does its job.

Best regards,
Eric
