[U-Boot] [PATCH] Align end of bss by 4 bytes,

[Selvamuthukumar]

bss initialization loop increments 4 bytes at a time.
And the loop end is checked for an 'equal' condition.
Make the bss end address aligned by 4, so that the loop
will end as expected.

Adding below lines creates bss of size not aligned to 4 bytes.

typedef struct bss_test__ {
        unsigned char a1;
        unsigned char ip1[4];
        unsigned char ip2[4];
} bss_test_t;

bss_test_t bss; /* Global variable */

Size of bss is 6c9d bytes.
