I mean, I thought I heard people here saying "use >>> OF_PLATDATA" if you're running out of space in SPL.

Which the SoCFPGA should have with 60k of SRAM. If U-Boot SPL became so bloated that even platform with so much space has issues, how can we even cater for the rest of platforms with much more limited SPL ? And if that is the case, we have a much bigger problem ... -- Best regards, Marek Vasut
