Dear Wolfgang Denk,
<nitpick> it became illegal once u-boot for AT91 became required to be relocated </nitpick>
No, it has always been illegal. You might thave been lucky that in your case the erros did not show up erarlier, but this does not change anything.
Sorry, before recently there was no relocation whatsoever used in u-boot for AT91 architectures. So there was no before/after relocation.
The only complaint that can be put up is that someone introduced functions using static data called from code that in other architectures runs before relocation ;)
Whatever, I am not an advocate for Atmel, neither am I getting paid by them, I am just a "user" that has to fix problems I did not expect to be there.
For the fix, I see an ugly multiline #if defined(AT91SAM9260) || defined(AT91SAM9G20) || ... coming into arch/arm/asm/global_data.h.
There is no common defined value for all AT91 SoCs that could be used.
Will that be ok?
Reinhard
