U-Boot typically uses a hard-coded value for the stack pointer
- before relocation. Define this option to instead calculate the
+ before relocation. Enable this option to instead calculate the
initial SP at run-time. This is useful to avoid hard-coding addresses
into U-Boot, so that can be loaded and executed at arbitrary
- addresses and thus avoid using arbitrary addresses at runtime. This
- option's value is the offset added to &_bss_start in order to
+ addresses and thus avoid using arbitrary addresses at runtime.

+ If this option is enabled, the early stack pointer is set to
+ &_bss_start with a offset value added. The offset is specified by

+ This option's value is the offset added to &_bss_start in order to
calculate the stack pointer. This offset should be large enough so
that the early malloc region, global data (gd), and early stack usage
do not overlap any appended DTB.
