I don't deny that it's useful.  And it may even ork fine in your
specific case.

But the approach is wrong. This code has never been meant to run
before relocation.

I object against opening this pandora box.

If you have so ample resources to run such code, then load a minimal
configuration of U-Boot.


Best regards,
