[PATCH 3/3] ARM lowlevel: Use get_runtime_offset

Sascha Hauer s.hauer at pengutronix.de
Mon Sep 10 03:56:49 EDT 2012


The current approach to get the offset between link and runtime address
is fragile. It requires a big fat comment to put no code above it and it
requires an extra linker section. Instead use a small assembler function.
