[U-Boot] [PATCH RFT 1/2] TI ARMv7: Don't use GD before crt0.S has set it

Prior to this change we set the gd pointer early so that we can store data in it. This becomes problematic for DM changes as well as being odd in general. Re-work the code paths so that we don't need to set the gd pointer so early and instead can rely upon the normal setting of it.
In order to do this we do need to move certain calls from s_init into spl_board_init(), mainly preloader_console_init and save_omap_boot_params.

In f0c3a6c we stopped setting gd in board_init_f, but later had to revert to due problems on certain platforms. As davinci does not look to have these problems, we can drop the setting here and rely upon crt0.S to do it.

I can test on Monday - I only have access to my LCDK on the weekend, and I have to get round to try the convoluted setup process for flashing u-boot on it :-)
Thanks!

Applied this patch (with and without 1/1 as well - given part 1 is ARMv7 it shouldn't have any bearing on davinci but wanted to be sure).
U-boot doesn't boot on the da850evm with this change. I tried both with my changes to the generic board, and on a fresh clone of u-boot.git. And on u-boot-ti.git. I haven't looked further, but I'm guessing there is early access to gd of the sort you patched out for v7.

Thanks for testing, I feared it wasn't quite as easy as it looked, I'll have a think about it and see if I can recall what else might be tickling gd that early over there.

This seems like it's going in the right direction to me!
Tested on Beaglebone Black.
