Still too big? I strongly recommend to carefully study the linker map
file.

I don't care about this as long as there are other, serious  problems
with your configuration.

It makes IMHO no sense to statically allocate 28 MB of  data  in  the
U-Boot image.

No, seems like you don't care about the resulting memory map and  the
consequences thereof.

Fix your memory map. Don't statically allocate huge buffers,  and  if
you don, then at least not without adjusting the memory map.
