Hi Wolfgang Denk,
Thanks for the comments.
I'm preparing the modified version as you pointed out.
But I have one curious thing among your comments.

No. There is not specific reason. It's just to fit the convention with
lowlevel_init.S file of any other previous boards based on Exynos4 SoC.
And it's true it's easy to check the changes between these boards. So, I
thought there's not a big problem whether this is changed to be C or not.
I'm just curious the pros of using C rather than asm in this case.
Could you explain it?
Thank you.
