Hi.
the relocation fixup patches (by Grant Likely and others) messes up malloc on at least 8260 boards. What seems to be happening is that the malloc end address does not get set anymore, and is therefore 0, and malloc start and lengths then end up being negative and ends up in the middle of the IMMR somewhere.
Net effect is that no 826x board I have tried so fat (8260ADS, 8266ADS and an internal board) will boot using u-boot 1.3.0-rc3.
I can get it to work by 1) Commenting out "#define CONFIG_RELOC_FIXUP_WORKS" on line 90 in include common.h or 2) Backing out commits f82b3b6304b620ef7e28bfaa1ea887a2ad2fa325 and e9514751cfa5cce61ea699fa0d3eb37898a5eeb5.
2) basically reverts to setting malloc end address from a #define again.
I need help to figure out how to fix this, and this most likely affects ALL 82xx boards (at least).
