Ah, thanks for checking. btw do you think it'd make sense to just enable this by default on all systems and zap the EXTRA_ENV_RELOC macro altogether ?Yes, that's what I have thought about already. Just like the for the embedded device tree relocation, we could then probably use gd->reloc_off instead of CONFIG_SYS_MONITOR_BASE. I'm just not sure this really works for all boards, but it would be worth a try to push after this release is out.
I think so too. I cannot think of a reason why this shouldn't be enabled in fact.
Exactly. Too me it seems like a leftover, especially given the use of CONFIG_SYS_MONITOR_BASE, which seems a little outdated, too. I've set up a reminder for a patch to remove it after the release.
Feel free to send it now.
OK, I have tried, but it seems it's not that easy: some boards override the initial gd->env_addr by setting CONFIG_ENV_ADDR. So if this is outside of U-Boot's pre-relocation range, it clearly should not be relocated. One might find an improved way to relocate gd->env_addr if it is internal (e.g. checking the range to be in pre-relocation?). But simply removing the EXTRA_ENV_RELOC does not seem to work.
Shouldn't most of those boards be easily fixable ?
