[U-Boot] [PATCH 2/2] mpc85xx: Initial SP alignment is wrong.

PowerPC mandates SP to be 16 bytes aligned.
Furthermore, a stack frame is added, pointing to the reset vector
which is just get in the way when gdb is walking the stack because
the reset vector may not accessible depending on emulator settings.
Also use a temp register so gdb doesn't pick up intermediate values.
