[U-Boot] [PATCH] devkit8000: Move CONFIG_SYS_TEXT_BASE out of bss

[Simon Schwarz]

Hi Igor,

this only affects Boards with SPL support - and only devkit8000.

The SPL has its .bss section in SD-RAM while the rest is in SRAM -
CONFIG_SYS_TEXT_BASE was in the same area as .bss. This caused trouble
as the header of the u-boot.img was written before
CONFIG_SYS_TEXT_BASE. In the described case this messed with the
pointer to the mcc datastructure - therefore the u-boot.img file
failed to be read.

Regards
Simon
