[U-Boot] powerpc/mpc8xxx failed to compile: operand out of range

[Jérôme Arzel]

Hi all,

I have an issue when I compile U-Boot for my target machine (P1022DS, 36-bit).
Here is the error message:

release.S: Assembler messages:
release.S:154: Error: operand out of range (0xfffff144 is not between 0x00000000 and 0x0000ffff)
release.S:286: Error: operand out of range (0xfffff144 is not between 0x00000000 and 0x0000ffff)
release.S:311: Error: operand out of range (0xfffff140 is not between 0x00000000 and 0x0000ffff)

(release.S is located to arch/powerpc/cpu/mpc85xx/release.S)

And here is the code for the first error (line 150):

#define toreset(x) (x - __secondary_start_page + 0xfffff000)

        /* get our PIR to figure out our table entry */
        lis     r3,toreset(__spin_table_addr)@h
        ori     r3,r3,toreset(__spin_table_addr)@l

I don't really know why it doesn't work, but I think
that "ori" is inappropried, the immediate value must be a 16-bit value.

I use GCC 4.7.3, compiled in x86_64 for target powerpc-none-linux-gnuspe.
My U-Boot come from the repository, but older versions fail too.


Thanks for your help,

Jérôme
