Remove dependencies on link address. Use GOT and
add an new function to calculate the actual address.

It seems this code introduces some subtle changes.

The original code references CONFIG_SYS_MONITOR_BASE.

But your new code does not reference CONFIG_SYS_MONITOR_BASE at all,
but uses CONFIG_SYS_FLASH_BASE instead.


On which boards has this been tested?

Best regards,

You can't assume a fixed address when doing PIC therefore the change.

Only on our custom 83xx boards.

I understand this change is intentionally, then?

Can you please try at least on one (or more) of the standard eval
boards as well?

Best regards,

Yes it is needed, otherwise is isn't PIC as you assume a fixed start
address. The FLASH base is the same in both cases.

Don't have one. We borrowed a board during early development but this board
has been returned long ago.
