Hi Nam,

The XIP_FIXUP macro is used to fix addresses early during boot before MMU:
generated code "thinks" the data section is in ROM while it is actually in
RAM. So this macro correct the addresses in the data section.

This macro determines if the address needs to be fixed by checking if it is
within the range startting of ROM address up to the size of 2 * XIP_OFFSET


s/startting/starting

And the sentence lacks the final dot.



This means addresses within the .text section would incorrectly get fixed.


Yes, but XIP_FIXUP() should only be applied to data symbols so I believe this ^ is not relevant.


Also if the kernel size if bigger than (2 * XIP_OFFSET), some addresses
would not be fixed up.

s/the kernel size if/the kernel size is


XIP kernel can still work if the above 2 cases do not happen. But this
macro is obviously incorrect.

Rewrite this macro to only fix up addresses within the data section.
