Why do you ignore my previous review comments?
You cannot simply turn this feature on globally for all boards. You will have to make appropriate adjustments more or less everywhere:
- some architectures already have these options set, so these should be removed from the architecture / board specific config files
- other architectures have this NOT set, and they need adjustments to the respective inker scripts.
As is, your patch breaks a zillion of boards.
Best regards,
Wolfgang Denk
