| _armboot_start contains the value of CONFIG_SYS_TEXT_BASE (0xA07E0000); it seems | |
| CONFIG_SYS_TEXT_BASE and _armboot_start are both used for the same purpose in | |
| different parts of the (ARM) code. | |
| Furthermore, the startup code (cpu/<arm>/start.S) internally uses | |
| another variable (_TEXT_BASE) with the same content as _armboot_start. | |
| I agree that this mess should be cleaned up. |
