Dear Txema,
Relocation is not board dependent, so if it works onone board it should work for all. Please create your patch for all boards, i. e. without CFG_FIXUP_RELOCATION etc., and post it here. Me and others will help testing it.

Hi Wolfgang,
I'm not sure if this patch could work for not PowerPC based architectures. Taking a look in the U-Boot starting files for mips and bf533 cpu's, it seems that only the GOT section is relocated in ram, so the patch probably won't work. Furthermore, there is some fpga's relocations that I can't understand, and I don't know what is the effect of my patch for boards with a fpga. I mean I can't supply a patch valid for all architectures without doing some bugs.
I think the method I suggest you using a new define It's quite reasonable. I'll summit the patch for the Lite5200's and the rest of boards will be not affected. If someone want to use or test the fixup relocation for his board only has to do two changes: - cleanup the fixup section from the text section in the u-boot.lds file. - define CFG_FIXUP_RELOCATION in the board configuration file.
I believe this is the safest way to do it. What do you think?
Best regards,
