Subject: [PATCH v2 1/2] ARM: setupc_32: remove relocation code from setup_c
Date: Wed, 04 Mar 2026 08:53:21 +0100	[thread overview]
Message-ID: <20260304-arm-setup-c-v2-1-d26af520ab03@pengutronix.de> (raw)
In-Reply-To: <20260304-arm-setup-c-v2-0-d26af520ab03@pengutronix.de>

All callers of setup_c() already call relocate_to_current_adr() or
relocate_to_adr() before setup_c(), so the relocation (memcpy) code
in setup_c is dead and also the sync_caches_for_execution() is unnecessary
Remove it and reduce setup_c to just clearing BSS.
