Afterthought: I have not explained how to test this patch.

If your board is based on arm926ejs and does not have its own
u-boot.lds, then you can simply applly the patch and modify your board
config file as I modified edminiv2.h, basically by adding the config
option CONFIG_RELOC_FIXUP_WORKS which will remove all calls to manual
fixup code.

If your board is arm926ejs but has its own start.S or u-boot.lds (or
both) then you'll also have to apply them the changes I made to their
arm926 counterparts.

Ditto if your board is ARM but not arm926.

You should then be able to build and run.

Remember: this patch only applies to boards which boot from NOR FLASH!
You can test it on other types of boards (NAND-based, etc) for
regression testing, but nothing more.

Amicalement,
