I think this is a bad misuse of the CONFIG_SYS_RAMBOOT variable here.
Assume I have a 85xx system where U-Boot gets loaded by some means
into DDR. Of course I will have CONFIG_MPC85xx and CONFIG_SYS_RAMBOOT
set, but I do not want in any way that this special mechanism kicks
in.
Please use a (new) specific feature-define for this.
Please also make sure to check other parts of the code if they use
this obviously unsuitable construct!
Best regards,
Wolfgang Denk
