[U-Boot] [PATCH 0/4] at91: SPL size check for at91 boards

[U-Boot] [PATCH 0/4] at91: SPL size check for at91 boards

[Eugen.Hristev at microchip.com]

This is a review of the patch
[U-Boot,RFC] ARM: at91: lds: add test SPL binary size and bbs size

Commit:
	ARM: at91: lds: add test SPL binary size and bbs size
will check for the SPL size and bss to see if it can fit the known RAM area
where it's supposed to be loaded. If the size exceeds, it will print an error
in build.
However, some platforms already have the SPL broken: it is too big for the RAM
area. These platforms would fail to build if we enable this SPL size check.
So, I made the commits for these defconfigs to disable SPL before adding the
actual check (for bisectability, do not break any builds in between the series
commits).

In short, first three commits will prepare defconfigs for the SPL check and the
last commit will implement the actual size checks.

[U-Boot] [PATCH 3/4] configs: wb45n_defconfig: Remove SPL

[Ben Whitten]

Hi,

A shame as these boards only really need to start NAND and
boot uboot proper. Out of interest how much is it over in the
builder?

If SPL can't be shrunk any further then fair enough and;

[U-Boot] [PATCH 3/4] configs: wb45n_defconfig: Remove SPL

[Ben Whitten]

Just compiled with the bootlin toolchain
' armv5-eabi--musl--stable-2018.02-2' from within buildroot
and it looks like an image is produced within size.
text	   data	    bss	    dec	    hex	filename
  17965	   1180	   4480	  23625	   5c49	u-boot-spl

It looks like the assertion calculates the assertion
incorrectly, will comment on that patch.

There is no __image_copy_start causing SPL size calculation
to error, replacing with __start resolves it.

Thank you, I will modify the patch and test. This means that we can let 
the SPL in configuration, which is great news.
