Build error while adding debug LL support for new board

Hi, Russell,

While adding low level debug support for new board in OMAP2+ family, we
came across following error,

arch/arm/kernel/debug.S: Assembler messages:
arch/arm/kernel/debug.S:138: Error: invalid constant (428) after fixup

Following patch fixes it, I am not sure whether this is the right fix,
please let us know your comments.

Regards
Afzal

Subject: [PATCH] ARM: Fix error upon adding LL debug

Upon adding new board LL debug support, if the resultant code
addition would not cause PC relative offset of "hexbuf" from
"adr r2, hexbuf" (+2) instruction to be representable in a
shifted 8-bit value (hence indirectly putting higher aligment
requirement on larger offsets), following error occurs,

arch/arm/kernel/debug.S: Assembler messages:
arch/arm/kernel/debug.S:138: Error: invalid constant (428) after fixup

Fix it by bringing "hexbuf" closer so that "adr"
can have the offset.
