That's probably our old friend .bss in SPL again: To save precious SRAM
space, we place the BSS section in DRAM, so it's only available after the
DRAM init happened. So far the code that runs before DRAM init is not using
variables placed in BSS, so everything works. Possible solutions are:
1) see if we can get rid of BSS variables in the LED code (my bet is on
"static int status_led_init_done = 0;" as the culprit)
2) move the LED init after the DRAM init. That's probably a bit late,
though, depends a bit on what people expect from the boot LED.
3) I guess the A20 can afford BSS in SRAM, but that would not help with
other (64-bit) boards. I actually wonder how it works there, though?

I'd prefer 1), but 2) is surely easier.

Cheers,
Andre
