Maybe you misunderstand my question. I was asking about the sama7g5 macb 
series, which you claimed that breaks your current patch set.
This is a link to the series :
https://patchwork.ozlabs.org/project/uboot/list/?series=218367

Since you claimed that this series breaks your series, I am asking what 
exactly is the breakage. How does the fdt relocation in your board 
environment has anything to do with macb and these patches which are not 
applied ?

Thanks,
Eugen
