[U-Boot] UNS: [Nios2-dev] [PATCH] nios2: fix out of reach case for do_reset

As a comment, that patch looks pretty ugly.  I might suggest an inline 
function (called "callr" or "nios2_callr") which
encapsulates the __asm__.   That would make the code much easier to read.

You could put the inline function in one of the asm headers.
