ARM: use r9 for gd
To be more EABI compliant and as a preparation for building with clang, use the platform-specific r9 register for gd instead of r8. note: The FIQ is not updated since it is not used in u-boot, and under discussion for the time being. The following checkpatch warning is ignored: WARNING: Use of volatile is usually wrong: see Documentation/volatile-considered-harmful.txt Signed-off-by: Jeroen Hofstee <jeroen@myspectrum.nl> cc: Albert ARIBAUD <albert.u.boot@aribaud.net>
