looking at the u-boot elf I found rodata.str1.1 is located far from
the rest sections, which is causing gap-fill to make a 4G u-boot.srec,
I moved all *rodata* in 8349's linker script to a separate rodata
section:
------------------------
.rodata :
  {
    *(.rodata)
    *(.rodata1)
    *(.rodata.str1.4)
  }
------------------------

seems it did the trick.
