Argh, you are right, thanks for finding this!

I am fine with that, if it works ... but actually I am thinking
why this is not needed on PowerPC boards! If I don; t oversee
something, they jump in the nand_spl code to board_init_f() from
arch/powerpc/lib/board.c, and how fit this in the first nand
page?
Ahh! ... they(PowerPc boards) have their "own" board_init_f() in
nand_spl/board/* code for example like the mpc8313erdb ...
Hmm.. don;t know if this is possible for all PowerPc boards, but
I think, this should be also possible to move this board_init_f()
to a common place, like I did this for arm boards ... Ah, all
of this boards have board specific things to initialize in
their board_init_f() and then call relocate_code() ... Hmm...
So, in the end, I am fine with your suggested change!
bye,
Heiko
