Additional note: tested with current u-boot/master (commit cad04990) on
an OpenRD-Client board (which builds Thumb-1 code) using gcc 5.2.1 (which
saves and restores r9 in just about any C function, causing
arch_setup_gd to fail setting GD):

- without this patch, the board fails to boot with an undefined
instruction exception.

- with this patch, the board boots and functions normally (at least
dhcp, tftp, go are working as expected).

Amicalement,
