York,

As per MC design requirement, MC memory should be 512MB aligned for which start address is gd->arch.resv_ram.
But the MC core's initial boot address should not contain start address. It must be located in the least significant 512MB of its address range.
So this change is basically shifting address from start of memory towards end of Memory (which is least significant 512MB address).
