[U-Boot] Use .data section in SPL ?

[Masahiro Yamada]

Hi.


I notice  SPL is using .data section



u32 *boot_params_ptr = NULL;
struct spl_image_info spl_image;

/* Define board data structure */
static bd_t bdata __attribute__ ((section(".data")));



If SPL is running on an execute-in-place device such NOR flash,
.data section is not writable.

common/spl/spl_nor.c does not work.



Shall we ban global variables on SPL (and pre-relocation) ?

 or

Shall we make .data section available?
