Hi All,
I just want to share my concern with respect to this patch.
This patch removed hard-coded value for 0x80000 and use
CONFIG_SYS_MONITOR_LEN.
There were many Freescale boards config which don't have correct
CONFIG_SYS_MONITOR_LEN(due to size increase from 512KB to 768KB). I
fixed them in subsequent patch.
This linker file is being used by many other powerpc boards/platforms.
Because of hard-coded value of 0x80000 in linker file, there boards are
booting till now.
but after this patch, there is a possibility there boards may not boot
because of wrong value defined for CONFIG_SYS_MONITOR_LEN by board
maintainers.
I will request powerpc board maintainers to check config file for
correct value of CONFIG_SYS_MONITOR_LEN.
Regards,
Prabhakar

It is not necessary for bootpg to be present at text + 512KB.
With increase of u-boot size (768KB), bootpg section's address
cannot be fixed.
