boarddata, the third argument passed from barebox PBL to barebox proper,
is usually either a pointer to an optionally compressed flattened device tree
or a machien type integer casted to a pointer.

In order to support device trees located in the first 8192 bytes of
address space, barebox has been trying to dereference boarddata, before
falling back to treating it as integer.

This resulted in breakage as boarddata may be an integer not divisible
by 4 and thus an unaligned exception would occur.

The already existing barebox_arm_boarddata mechanism sidesteps this
issue: With it, the machine type integer is not passed as is, but the
address of a suitably aligned structure that contains it is passed
instead.

Searching for MACHINE_TYPE in arch/arm/boards shows 5 boards to be
affected in-tree, which are all fixed with this commit.

Fixes: 390bc7834ffc ("ARM: start: check for machine type last")

@Bastian, could you give this a test on your i.MX23 board?

* [RFT PATCH 2/2] ARM: start: drop support for machine type casted to boarddata pointer

Commit 84d28cec7f49 ("ARM: add a machine number mechanism for boarddata")
added in 2015 added a struct barebox_arm_boarddata mechanism for PBL to
pass machine type to barebox proper without going the legacy router of
casting the machine type integer to a pointer directly.

The legacy way with casting was mostly broken two years ago with commit
390bc7834ffc ("ARM: start: check for machine type last").

Only user that complained about it was using an in-tree board that has
in the meantime been fixed to use struct barebox_arm_boarddata instead.

Take this as indication that the code is dead and can be safely removed.

This may introduce regressions for boards that happened to work, despite
their machine type integer being dereferenced as a pointer. If you
happen to have such a board, please pass a pointer to a
struct barebox_arm_boarddata instead.

No matches for MACHINE_TYPE in arch/arm/boards. The search string should
probably be something like ".machine =", right?

This does not work, yet. The board code is not executed.
