"some drivers before relocation" - how many which are these?

Also, is it really necessary to make the decision about endianess at
runtime?  We don't have multi-board support in U-Boot yet, so when you
build an image you know exactly which SoC you are building for, so you
should be able to make the selection at compile time?

Best regards,
