[U-Boot] [PATCH v1 0/4] arm: socfgpa: support of-platdata

Hi Simon,

I'm not an expert with SOCFPGA nor your application, but maybe
selecting: "SPL_SEPARATE_BSS" would fix your issue?

This option allows putting on IMX6 SPL the DTB blob into OCRAM (internal
RAM), before the DDR is setup (so it would be possible to calculate
CRC). 

I've stumbled upon such issue when I wanted to switch from OF_EMBEDDED
to OF_SEPARATE.
