The generic arm linker script contains this section:
.bss __rel_dyn_start (OVERLAY) : {
...
}
The (OVERLAY) syntax in the description causes the .bss section to be
included in the NOR area of the image:
$ objdump -t -j .bss spl/u-boot-spl
SYMBOL TABLE:
0000c61c l d .bss 00000000 .bss
0000c640 l O .bss 00000040 __value.0
0000c68c g O .bss 00000000 __bss_end
0000c61c g O .bss 00000000 __bss_start
0000c680 g O .bss 0000000c stdio_devices
This is what the custom linker script tries to avoid, as the NOR area is
read-only.
Remove the OVERLAY syntax to fix the BSS location:
$ objdump -t -j .bss spl/u-boot-spl
SYMBOL TABLE:
83000000 l d .bss 00000000 .bss
83000000 l O .bss 00000040 __value.0
0000c61c g O .bss 00000000 __image_copy_end
8300004c g O .bss 00000000 __bss_end
83000000 g O .bss 00000000 __bss_start
83000040 g O .bss 0000000c stdio_devices
This restores the state of the linker script before the patch that fixed
the linker lists issue.
