Re: [U-Boot] [PATCH] arm: prevent using movt/movw address loads

Hi, experts:

-# check that only R_ARM_RELATIVE relocations are generated ifneq ($(CONFIG_SPL_BUILD),y) -ALL-y += checkarmreloc +# Check that only R_ARM_RELATIVE relocations are generated. +ALL-y += checkarmreloc +# The movt / movw can hardcode 16 bit parts of the addresses in the +# instruction. Relocation is not supported for that case, so disable +# such usage by requiring word relocations. +PLATFORM_CPPFLAGS += $(call cc-option, -mword-relocations) endif

Jeroen's patch is very simple. So, is there any side-effect? If not, why not add it into 2013.10 release version? :)

Best wishes,
