In order to mx53 ROM to properly load the U-boot image, its size should be multiple of 512 bytes.

This issue was observed on gcc 4.6.2/4.7.3 which caused data aborts:

U-Boot 2013.01-rc2-00172-gf8cfcf1-dirty (Dec 26 2012 - 13:13:28)

Board: MX53 LOCO I2C: ready DRAM: 1 GiB MMC: FSL_SDHC: 0, FSL_SDHC: 1 In: serial Out: serial Err: serial CPU: Freescale i.MX53 family rev2.1 at 1000 MHz Reset cause: WDOG Net: FEC Warning: FEC using MAC address from net device

Hit any key to stop autoboot: 0 data abort

MAYBE you should read doc/README.arm-unaligned-accesses

,and this patch fixes it.
