Hi Vikram,

bootstage_mark_name calls timer_get_boot_us which inturn calls the arch timer. The arch timer uses the gd pointer to save the lastinc count. A call to bootstage_mark_name here results in a data abort as gd is uninitialized.

This bug will affect boards which don't have their own timer_get_boot_us() function.
Albert, I think we should try to get this in as a bug fix in the upcoming release.
Thanks for the fix Vikram.
Though it is true that there are currently no users for this feature, it isn't good to see an abort when someone tries to use BOOTSTAGE. I was bugged by this error when trying to use this feature on i.Mx6Q based board.
