Re: [U-Boot-Users] [PATCH] [ARM] Fix DECLARE_GLOBAL_DATA_PTR and make gd global

In message 46EB7145.1050307@googlemail.com you wrote:

Some users [1] with (some?) ARM toolchains report issues with #define DECLARE_GLOBAL_DATA_PTR register volatile gd_t *gd asm ("r8") in include/asm-arm/global_data.h The issue seems to be [2]

Can you please point out specific boards that show this problem?

This patch makes DECLARE_GLOBAL_DATA_PTR empty, so no local register variable any more, and makes gd global.

Actually this should not be needed any more as all use of the DECLARE_GLOBAL_DATA_PTR (should) have been moved outside function bodies, so we already use a global definition. If there are remaining places where this has been forgotten I'd rather fix these.
