This patch moves the malloc initialization before calling flash_init(). Upcoming changes to the NOR FLASH common CFI driver with optional MTD infrastructure and MTD concatenation support will call malloc(). And nothing really speaks against enabling malloc just a little earlier in the boot stage. Some architectures already enable malloc before calling flash_init() so they don't need any changes here.

If nobody from the platforms custodians objects against this patch then I suggest that Wolfgang pulls it directly into next.
fyi, you've only cc:d Scott McNutt and John Rigby on this mail, yet you indicate otherwise...
