[PATCH 3/3] MIPS: refactor SPL start.S code

Antony Pavlov antonynpavlov at gmail.com
Sun Sep 20 15:50:45 PDT 2015


This commit removes code duplication by using
MIPS PBL macros in the SPL start.S file.

One of the side effects of this patch is that
the only <asm/pbl_macros.h> header file is depends
on the <generated/utsrelease.h> header file.
