[U-Boot] [PATCH v3 08/12] armv7: start.S: fixes and enhancements for SPL

Aneesh V aneesh at ti.com
Sat Jul 16 14:53:18 CEST 2011


- Allow SPL to have .bss disjoint from rest of the image
- Allow for .bss setup in CONFIG_SPL_BUILD case too.
- Take care of the special case where relocation offset = 0.
- Compile out exception handling code and install a simpler
  vector

V3:
* Taken care of the case where .bss is at a lower address
  comapred to  _start
