[PATCH v4 0/4] Ensure 16 alignment of reserved memory in board_f.c

Hi,

It is a V4 with only cosmetics udpate (s/insure/ensure)
for the V3 serie:
http://patchwork.ozlabs.org/project/uboot/list/?series=162918&state=*

V2 was:
http://patchwork.ozlabs.org/project/uboot/list/?series=154685&state=*

After the first correction, only for bootstage alignment,
I remove the stm32mp1 workaround in the 2nd patch.

The 4th patch is a complete solution to alignment
(proposed in comment 5 of
 http://patchwork.ozlabs.org/patch/1201452/#2327366)
I always align the reserved memory to 16 bytes with a new function
reserve_stack_aligned().

But this patch causes an issue on ARM 32 bits, as the relocated gd
pointer is not initialized with gd->new_gd as expected now in
reserve_global_data() but is hard-coded with:
  relocated gd = gd->bd - GD_SIZE
  {with GD_SIZE = sizeof(struct global_data)}

After the 4rd patch, this assumption in not more true as
sizeof(struct global_data) is not always 16 bytes aligned.

This issue is solved with the 3rd patch of the serie
  arm: set the relocated gd with gd->new_gd

Only tested on STM32MP157C-EV1 board (ARM32 architecture).


Changes in v4:
- replace insure by ensure in comment
- replace insure by ensure

Changes in v3:
- rename reserve_sp to reserve_stack_aligned

Changes in v2:
- import: [U-Boot,v3] board_f.c: Insure gd->new_bootstage alignment
- fix commit message s/bits/bytes/
