This is the error reported by the CI/CD pipeline:
arm: + corvus
241+arm-linux-gnueabi-ld.bfd: u-boot-spl section `.bss' will not fit
in region `.sdram'
242+arm-linux-gnueabi-ld.bfd: SPL image BSS too big
243+arm-linux-gnueabi-ld.bfd: region `.sdram' overflowed by 1388 bytes
244+make[2]: *** [scripts/Makefile.spl:527: spl/u-boot-spl] Error 1
245+make[1]: *** [Makefile:2074: spl/u-boot-spl] Error 2
246+make: *** [Makefile:177: sub-make] Error 2
I think the problem is:
+static u8 scratch_buf[CONFIG_SYS_NAND_PAGE_SIZE];
.+
So, please try with a malloc() and test the patch again.
You can take as example the file drivers/mtd/nand/raw/mt7621_nand_spl.c.
Thanks and regards,
Dario
