How can I make flash writeable?

Below is what I did to burn JFFS2 into NOR flash

1) Partition
Due to small size 8 MB of NOR flash, I have to re-partition to fit the 
minimum 4MB of JFFS2 with erase blk of 64 KB

Start of DTS:
 nor at fe000000 {
  device_type = "rom";
  compatible = "direct-mapped";
  reg = <fe000000 00800000>; /*8MB*/
  probe-type = "CFI";
  bank-width = <2>;
  partitions = <
   00000000 00050001   /* U-BOOT  1M RO */
   00050000 00010001   /*  DTB 512K RO */
   00060000 001A0001   /* kernel 2M RO  */
   00200000 00600000>; /* JFFS2 512K RW */
  partition-names = "U-Boot", "Kernel", "DTB", "JFFS2" ;
 };
End of DTS

2) u-boot env

setenv bootargs root=/dev/mtdblock3 rootfstype=jffs2 rw console=ttyS0,115200

bootm fe06000 - fe050000

3) Compile DTS to get DTB and Use u-boot to burn DTB at 0xFE05_0000

4) Use u-boot to burn kernel at 0xFE06_0000

5) I use u-boot to burn JFFS2 at 0xFE20_0000

Good luck
