[PATCH v2 2/7] common: Tidy up how malloc() is inited

Fri Oct 11 23:40:26 CEST 2024


The call to malloc() is a bit strange. The naming of the arguments
suggests that an address is passed, but in fact it is a pointer, at
least in the board_init_r() function and SPL equivalent.

Update it to work as described. Add a function comment as well.

Note that this does adjustment does not extend into the malloc()
implementation itself, apart from changing mem_malloc_init(), since
there are lots of casts and pointers and integers are used
interchangeably.
