[PATCH 0/3] Nokia RX-51: Fixes for U-Boot v2023.01-rc1
This patch series fixes U-Boot v2023.01-rc1 on Nokia N900 and extend documentation for debugging purposes. The main issue is broken POSITION_INDEPENDENT=y for (probably all) 32-bit ARM boards.
Pali Rohár (3): arm32: Fix relocation of env_addr if POSITION_INDEPENDENT=y Nokia RX-51: Document debugging options and compile command Nokia RX-51: Do not overwrite standard $loadaddr variable

Apply commit 534f0fbd6520 ("arm64: Fix relocation of env_addr if POSITION_INDEPENDENT=y") also for 32-bit ARM.
This change fixes crashing of U-Boot on ARMv7 (Omap3 / Cortex-A8) Nokia N900 phone (real HW). Note that qemu emulator of this board with same u-boot.bin binary has not triggered this crash.
Crash happened after U-Boot printed following debug lines to serial console:
initcall: 0001ea8c (relocated to 8fe0aa8c) Loading Environment from <NULL>... Using default environment Destroy Hash Table: 8fe25a98 table = 00000000 Create Hash Table: N=387

It would be nice to add:

Applied to u-boot/master, thanks!
Add example command how to compile U-Boot and add new documentation section describing how to enable early debug UART and verbose log output for N900.

Instead of overwriting $loadaddr variable, use custom temporary $fileloadaddr variable. So scripts can access default/original address stored in $loadaddr at build time.
