Sure. May be separate patch will be send.

Sure, i will update.

I am not sure.  But same is done under label "create_init_ram_area" for 
TLB entry 15.
what you suggest.

NAND SPL go via !defined(CONFIG_SYS_RAMBOOT) path.

i think  NAND_SPL  does not require temporary TLB  as NAND SPL even does 
not have any interrupt vector.

I will check this point

Please refer above response. May be this piece of code is not required 
for NAND SPL

i will put this code under #define CONFIG_ENABLE_36BIT_PHYS

For your kind information : in start.S, label label 
"create_ccsr_new_tlb", "create_ccsr_old_tlb" uses  MAS7  without 
CONFIG_ENABLE_36BIT_PHYS  #define.
It should be fixed ??

Ok.

Am i supposed to send separate patch having TLB entry defined for all 
e500 v1/v2 SoC ?
