Subject: [PATCH] arm: Describe required sort order for textofs-y (TEXT_OFFSET)
Date: Tue, 6 May 2014 15:12:28 +0100 [thread overview]
Message-ID: <1399385548-17892-1-git-send-email-daniel.thompson@linaro.org> (raw)
The section of the makefile that determines the TEXT_OFFSET is sorted
by address so that, in multi-arch kernel builds, the architecture with the
most stringent requirements for the kernel base address gets to define
TEXT_OFFSET. The comment should reflect that.
