The relocation code uses the CONFIG_SYS_MONITOR_BASE constant for calculating the reserved memory size and relocation offset values. Along with these predefined values the code also uses several other constants which are computed by the linker from the CONFIG_SYS_TEXT_BASE value. Due to this, the relocation code works incorreclty if the CONFIG_SYS_TEXT_BASE and CONFIG_SYS_MONITOR_BASE values are different.
to be consistent with all other architectures, we should keep CONFIG_SYS_MONITOR_BASE. I think it is neither valid nor intentional to use a value different from CONFIG_SYS_TEXT_BASE. Instead we should change include/configs/malta.h:
-#define CONFIG_SYS_MONITOR_BASE CONFIG_SYS_FLASH_BASE +#define CONFIG_SYS_MONITOR_BASE CONFIG_SYS_TEXT_BASE
