Please rebase this patch.
I had an error when applying it.

CONFIG_SKIP_LOWLEVEL_INIT is not used in the other patches.
Why is this needed ?
board/samsung/samsung/smdk6400 has a lowlevel_init.o function.
It is confusing why this function is being if-def and not the real
lowlevel_init..

This logic is may not be quite correct

 From include/configs/smdk6400.h
#if !defined(CONFIG_NAND_SPL) && (TEXT_BASE >= 0xc0000000)
#define CONFIG_ENABLE_MMU
#endif

Are the noop's used in the mmu enable code after 'mcr pcr ..'
also needed here ?

This comment '@ 256 .. ' is no longer valid.

The old comment makes more sense.
Revert this.

There is logic later in this file to undef this value.
This is likely an error.
If it isn't, add a comment.
