PATCH 1/1 distro: Disable iso partition format for SPL

When building an SPL binary, chances are quite slim that we need an iso partition label. However, there were reports of us exceeding our SPL memory limit with iso enabled.

So for now, let's disable the ISO partition format code when in the SPL build.

Did you test and verify that this fixes the issue for you? My local compile was still too big, but I guess that's a toolchain difference thing :)

I tested this patch for an am335x port, I soon post to mainline. With this patch, it compiled again clean for me.

Just tried the "igep0030_nand_defconfig" ... yes, it fails also with this patch:

without your patch:
arm-linux-gnueabi-ld.bfd: region `.sram' overflowed by 1176 bytes

with it:
arm-linux-gnueabi-ld.bfd: region `.sram' overflowed by 272 bytes

So, your patch saves some bytes, but this fix seems valid for me, so I acked it ... But it seems, there are more issues with this board ...

Ah, Tom already posted another fix, see:
http://patchwork.ozlabs.org/patch/614516/

bye,
Heiko

The root problem is that we have a few boards that are once again close to the size limit, depending on toolchain. I'm slightly surprised that you aren't also telling me duovero is broken (that overflows for me depending on toolchaind and I've already asked the maintainer to look into trimming things). We may, in the end, have to take some not-nice patches for this release and see about maybe saying that OMAP3 also needs to use DDR for SPL stack, once set (and saying that ~4KiB space should be enough for stack space prior to DDR init).
