Dear Kumar Gala,

Maybe. But this is just another manifestation of the original problem:
without commit ec79d33 we didn't need the RESET_VECTOR_ADDRESS stuff
at all, and an image size of 256 kB was sufficient without and with
the "TQM85xx: enable partition suppor" patch applied.

Now, after commit ec79d33 (which needed to be fixed by the
RESET_VECTOR_ADDRESS stuff in the first place), we suddenly need more
than 256 kB.

This obviously means that commit ec79d33 introduced changes to the
image layout that make it bigger.

I consider this a bug in commit ec79d33. I don't want to waste more
space than needed.


Best regards,

Wolfgang Denk
