From: Andreas Dannenberg <dannenb...@ti.com>
In order to be able to use more advanced driver functionality which often
relies on having BSS initialized during early boot prior to relocation
several things need to be in place:
1) Memory needs to be available for BSS to use. For this, we locate BSS
at the top of the MCU SRAM area, with the stack starting right below
it,
2) We need to zero-initialize BSS ourselves which will we do during
board_init_f(),
3) We would also like to skip the implicit zero-initialization as part of
SPL relocation, so that already initialized variables will carry over
post-relocation. We will do this with a separate commit by turning on
the respective CONFIG option.
In this commit we only zero-initialize BSS. Assignment of SP will be
done in the environment setup.
