Dear Tom,

I've been thinking. We've had a thread on i.MX platforms about fdt being overwritten and needing to be moved to another address. And I've also had an internal problem about fdt being overwritten. So, how about as a rule of thumb we start setting fdt_high (in configs) to memory-start + 512MiB, as that's the lowmem limit we should always have available. This will fix the problem of BSS overwriting the DT, which is the problem we won't catch in normal bootm/bootz usage. Thoughts?
Maybe I'm missing something - but what about systems with less than 1 GB RAM? Actually only a small percentage of devices we see here have 512 MB or more...
Best regards,
Wolfgang Denk
