+ * CONSTANT initialized data are available. GD should be zeroed

* 2. Call board_init_f(). This function prepares the hardware for
* execution from system RAM (DRAM, DDR...) As system RAM may not

*
- * 4. Call relocate_code(). This function relocates U-Boot from its

* data (initialized to their intended value), and stack in system
- * RAM. GD has retained values set by board_init_f(). Some CPUs
