Ok, that's what I have after your patch application:
---------->8----------
/* Setup stack- and frame-pointers */
mov %sp, CONFIG_SYS_INIT_SP_ADDR
mov %fp, %sp
/* Get reserved area size, update SP and FP */
bl board_init_f_get_reserve_size
/* Update stack- and frame-pointers */ <-- that's already mentioned 2
lines above
sub %sp, %sp, %r0
mov %fp, %sp
---------->8----------
