Hi Bin
There's a similar discussion in a cleanup series I've sent [1]

It's not only a build warning, you don't even have a DTB to begin with.

is _end correct here? Doesn't the placement depend on CONFIG_SPL_BUILD and
CONFIG_SPL_SEPARATE_BSS?
To sum up the other thread I think the overall approach here is not ideal.
OF_SEPARATE is used in conjunction with SPL in these boards. What happens
(assuming I didn't miss anything), is that SPL passes the DTB to OpenSBI,
which in it turn copies to a1 before invoking U-Boot.
But we are better of with stricter rules for DTB.
- OF_SEPARATE means: I'll read the DTB from the U-Boot binary.
- OF_BOARD: The board will somehow provide it.
So II think the patch should look something along the lines of:
if (IS_ENABLED(CONFIG_OF_SEPARATE)) {
#ifdef CONFIG_SPL_BUILD
/* FDT is at end of BSS unless it is in a different memory region */
if (IS_ENABLED(CONFIG_SPL_SEPARATE_BSS))
fdt_blob = (void *)&_image_binary_end;
else
fdt_blob = (void *)&__bss_end;
#else
/* FDT is at end of image */
fdt_blob = (void *)&_end;
}
if (IS_ENABLED(CONFIG_OF_BOARD)) {
fdt_blob = (void *)gd->arch.firmware_fdt_addr;
}
