Dear Masahiro,

You are suggesting a better idea below. We should not treat SPL as a special case.
In my opinion, CONFIG_SPL_* should be discontinued.
For example, we can merge CONFIG_SPL_TEXT_BASE to CONFIG_SYS_TEXT_BASE.
Are you sure this is always possible?
#ifdef CONFIG_SPL_BUILD # define CONFIG_SYS_TEXT_BASE 0x00000000 #else # define CONFIG_SYS_TEXT_BASE 0x10000000 #endif
rather than #define CONFIG_SPL_TEXT_BASE 0x00000000 #define CONFIG_SYS_TEXT_BASE 0x10000000
Are there really no cases where for example the SPL needs to know CONFIG_SYS_TEXT_BASE, for example when loading U-Boot to RAM? I think that the "normal" U-Boot does not need to know about the SPL, but is this also always true the other way round?
Best regards,
