No, but this code is executed before any of the other parts of the patch. Anyhow, I just
found the problem(really obvious once I found it).
During bring up we had to load uboot in the middle of the flash instead of
the end because we have a flash burn problem in the end of the flash that we do not
understand yet. We think it may be related to DDR3 being misconfigured by the emulator(BDI3000).
I do not understand why this emulator can not use the L2SRAM instead? Is there something
magic behind the L2SRAM so it is impossible to use it as a work area for
flash burning?
