Yes.

As a summary you have no any issue to access InBound/BAR/LAW. And actually I'm
always strange that even you cannot configure InBound/BAR/LAW properly, you also
should be allowed to write OutBound REGs. And I remember there is only one
requirement to OutBound, and that is the window address should be aligned based
on the size from OWS. Are you sure?

And did you try to configure OutBound REGS when RC mode? If so I'm afraid we may
miss some errata on EP.

And do you have any response from Freescale?
