[PATCH 1/6] board_f: Add support for CONFIG_OF_BOARD_FIXUP for XIP images

6 Jun 2024

From: Pali Rohár pali@kernel.org
When U-Boot is running from flash memory (execute in place) then
gd->fdt_blob before relocation points to read-only flash memory.
So U-Boot calls board_fix_fdt() with read-only gd->fdt_blob pointer which
cause immediate CPU crash when callback is trying to modify gd->fdt_blob.
Fix this issue by introducing a new config option OF_INITIAL_DTB_READONLY
which moves fix_fdt callback after the reloc_fdt callback. This makes
CONFIG_OF_BOARD_FIXUP working also if U-Boot before relocation is not
running from read/write (S)RAM memory.
This is required for mpc85xx boards when booting from flash NOR.
