Subject: [PATCH 2/5] Nokia RX-51: Use U-Boot generic position independent code
Date: Thu, 11 Aug 2022 22:27:22 +0200 [thread overview]
Message-ID: <20220811202725.24752-2-pali@kernel.org> (raw)
In-Reply-To: <20220811202725.24752-1-pali@kernel.org>
Switch from custom board specific fixup/copy code to U-Boot generic
position independent code provided by config option POSITION_INDEPENDENT.
This also slightly decrease size of u-boot.bin binary (by 52 bytes). Note
that option POSITION_INDEPENDENT increase size but not more than custom
board fixup/copy code which is being deleted (as it is not needed anymore).
Signed-off-by: Pali Rohár <pali@kernel.org>
