This series allows rpi to boot a compressed Ubuntu kernel with ~100MB
ramdisk, by expanding the available space.
It also tidies up some strange behaviour with the provided FDT, where a
separate pointer is maintained to it, even though U-Boot has copied it
and placed it in its own space. This avoids strange bugs where it
accidentally gets overwritten when loading a file into memory.
The patch to expand the devicetree was dropped, meaning that people
should be careful to unset fdt_addr in the environment.
In version 2, it incorporates some changes to fdt_addr, etc. suggested
by Tom, as well as adding myself as a maintainer.
Changes in v5:
- Rebase to -next
- Drop patch to add myself as a maintainer
Changes in v4:
- Expand the comment on set_fdt_addr()
- Update the commit message to talk in terms of my testing
Changes in v2:
- Drop patch to allow expanding the devicetree during relocation
