+- CONFIG_SYS_CCSRBAR_DEFAULT:
+ Default (power-on reset) physical address of CCSR on Freescale
+ PowerPC SOCs.
+
+- CONFIG_SYS_CCSRBAR:
+ Virtual address of CCSR. On a 32-bit build, this is typically
+ the same value as CONFIG_SYS_CCSRBAR_DEFAULT.
+
+ CONFIG_SYS_DEFAULT_IMMR must also be set to this value,
+ for cross-platform code that uses that macro instead.
+
+- CONFIG_SYS_CCSRBAR_PHYS:
+ Physical address of CCSR. CCSR can be relocated to a new
+ physical address, if desired. In this case, this macro should
+ be set to that address. Otherwise, it should be set to the
+ same value as CONFIG_SYS_CCSRBAR_DEFAULT. For example, CCSR
+ is typically relocated on 36-bit builds. It is recommended
+ that this macro be defined via the _HIGH and _LOW macros:
+
+ #define CONFIG_SYS_CCSRBAR_PHYS ((CONFIG_SYS_CCSRBAR_PHYS_HIGH
+ * 1ull) << 32 | CONFIG_SYS_CCSRBAR_PHYS_LOW)
+
+- CONFIG_SYS_CCSRBAR_PHYS_HIGH:
+ Bits 33-36 of CONFIG_SYS_CCSRBAR_PHYS. This value is typically
+ either 0 (32-bit build) or 0xF (36-bit build). This macro is
+ used in assembly code, so it must not contain typecasts or
+ integer size suffixes (e.g. "ULL").
+
+- CONFIG_SYS_CCSRBAR_PHYS_LOW:
+ Lower 32-bits of CONFIG_SYS_CCSRBAR_PHYS. This macro is
+ used in assembly code, so it must not contain typecasts or
+ integer size suffixes (e.g. "ULL").
+
+- CONFIG_SYS_CCSR_DO_NOT_RELOCATE:
+ If this macro is defined, then CONFIG_SYS_CCSRBAR_PHYS will be
+ forced to a value that ensures that CCSR is not relocated.
