[U-Boot] [PATCH 1/9] arm: Add warnings about using gdata

[Simon Glass]

We need to get rid of this SPL-specific setting of the global_data pointer.
It is already set up in start.S immediately before board_init_f() is called,
and there may be information there that is needed (e.g. pre-reloc malloc
info).
