[PATCH 1/5] Nokia RX-51: Fix invalidating zImage kernel format

[PATCH 1/5] Nokia RX-51: Fix invalidating zImage kernel format

[Pali Rohár]

Prior starting copy of kernel image to target location, invalidate also
zImage magic header. This ensures that on target location would be image
with valid header only in the case valid header was also in the source
location and copy from source to target finished successfully. Copy is
always skipped when kernel image in source location is invalid.

Add also comment to the code which explain what is the code doing.

Fixes: cc434fccba4c ("Nokia RX-51: Add support for booting kernel in zImage format")

[PATCH 2/5] Nokia RX-51: Use U-Boot generic position independent code

[Pali Rohár]

Switch from custom board specific fixup/copy code to U-Boot generic
position independent code provided by config option POSITION_INDEPENDENT.

This also slightly decrease size of u-boot.bin binary (by 52 bytes). Note
that option POSITION_INDEPENDENT increase size but not more than custom
board fixup/copy code which is being deleted (as it is not needed anymore).

[PATCH 3/5] Nokia RX-51: Simplify copy kernel code

[Pali Rohár]

Expression (r + (r0 - r1)) produce same result as (r - (r1 - r0)). So it
does not matter which one is called. Always call the first option and
remove second one.

[PATCH 4/5] Nokia RX-51: Simplify calculation of attached kernel image address

[Pali Rohár]

Now when board starup code does not copy image to CONFIG_SYS_TEXT_BASE
address there is no need to calculate all addresses from base address at
runtime. The only address which needs to be calculated is attached kernel
image address which can be simplified at compile time without need to know
CONFIG_SYS_TEXT_BASE address or relocation address at the runtime.

[PATCH 5/5] Nokia RX-51: Move board required options from defconfig to Kconfig

[Pali Rohár]

Some of config options are board specific and should be set in into their
default values automatically. So move them from defconfig file to Kconfig
definitions to ensure that possible user custom defconfig files would have
these required options also enabled.
