Commit 7653942b10e9e ("common/env_embedded.c: drop support for CONFIG_SYS_USE_PPCENV") dropped the .ppcenv section which was used in linking scripts to allow fine placement of embedded environment sections.
This implies that GCC randomly places objects from env/embedded.o and environment is not guaranteed to be located at the correct address:
04003df8 g F .text 00000038 mii_init 04004000 g O .text 00000004 env_size 04004004 g O .text 00002000 environment 04006004 g F .text 00000040 .hidden __lshrdi3
This patch restores this capability by allocating each object marked with __UBOOT_ENV_SECTION__ into a different section. Hence 'environment' will be alone in .text.environment, allowing a fine placement in u-boot.lds with:
. = DEFINED(env_offset) ? env_offset : .; env/embedded.o (.text.environment)
