Dropping #4 and queueing the rest for 2021.01 sounds good to me too.
We can revisit a possible check for non-PIE later.

 NACK for this.

 1. It breaks SPL flow because CONFIG_SYS_TEXT_BASE is text
 base for U-Boot proper 2. It likely also breaks TPL flow for
 the same reason

 3. And last thing is that this code is used only for U-Boot
 proper. .globl _TEXT_BASE _TEXT_BASE: .quad
 CONFIG_SYS_TEXT_BASE

 The fixes are below. Point 3 should be likely be in separate
 patch because it is unrelated.

OK, yes, we can set this aside for now at least.  I assume this is all
for v2021.01 anyhow?

I am fine with dropping it.

So if this patch causes issues, can't we just drop it? I mean right now
you will probably just crash anyway if you load it at the wrong address,
but maybe late enough that you get more hints or even some output.

Now this patch makes sure that you don't get anything, so I don't see
how this is really improving the situation. It seems like a case of
"don't fix things that ain't broken".

1. It breaks SPL flow because CONFIG_SYS_TEXT_BASE is text base for
U-Boot proper
2. It likely also breaks TPL flow for the same reason

3. And last thing is that this code is used only for U-Boot proper.
.globl  _TEXT_BASE
_TEXT_BASE:
.quad   CONFIG_SYS_TEXT_BASE

The fixes are below. Point 3 should be likely be in separate patch
