From c21f407bf01cf497fd03fe404c1f06bdb36c88f9 Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: Simon Glass Date: Thu, 15 Nov 2018 18:43:58 -0700 Subject: [PATCH] spl: Add a comment to spl_set_bd() There is a strange feature to set global_data to a data-section variable early in SPL. This only works if SPL actually has access to SRAM which is not the case on x86, for eaxmple. Add a comment to this effect.
