Yes, in relocate_to_current_adr() the address all be fixed up.

But if _barebox_image_size, __bss_start and __bss_stop all zero. the
barebox_base calculated by arm_mem_barebox_image() would wrong. but because it
align the base to 1M. So mostly it works fine. If the barebox size larger than
1M. It should fail.

No. my patch just for new toolchain. with old toolchain it has no effect,
Because all of the size is zero.

By using the newer toolchain:
	arm-poky-eabi-gcc (GCC) 8.2.0
	GNU ld (GNU Binutils) 2.31.1.20180818

In barebox config file:
        CONFIG_TEXT_BASE=0x23e00000
        CONFIG_RELOCATABLE=y

Without my patch, in barebox.map

                0x000000000001ff40                __bss_start = .

                0x0000000000021bec                __bss_stop = .
                0x0000000000021bec                _end = .
                0xffffffffdc21ff40                _barebox_image_size = (__bss_start - 0x23e00000)

In code, printout barebox_base calculated by arm_mem_barebox_image():

        barebox_image_size     : 0xdc21ff40
        __bss_stop     : 0x00021bec
        __bss_start     : 0x0001ff40
        membase     : 0x20000000
        endmem      : 0x60000000
        barebox_base: 0x83d00000

barebox_base outof memory region!

After using my patch, the outpus is:

        barebox_image_size     : 0x0001ff40
        __bss_stop     : 0x00021bec
        __bss_start     : 0x0001ff40
        membase     : 0x20000000
        endmem      : 0x60000000
        barebox_base: 0x5ff00000
