The physical base address of the NOR flash is 0x1e000000
on the Malta boards. The hardware also maps the first 4MiB
of the flash into the 0x1fc00000-0x1fffffff range.
Currently, U-Boot uses the mapped address to access the
flash, which does not work in recent qemu versions.
Since commit a427338b222b43197c2776cbc996936df0302f51
(mips_malta: correct reading MIPS revision at 0x1fc00010)
writing to the mapped address space causes a CPU exception.
Due to the exception, U-Boot hangs during boot when it tries
to detect the CFI flash chip.
Use the correct physical address for the MALTA_FLASH_BASE
constant to fix the problem. In order to avoid relocation
problems, also update the CONFIG_SYS_{TEXT,MONITOR}_BASE
constants.
The change makes it possible to start U-Boot on a Malta
board emulated with Qemu 1.6.1 and 1.7.0-rc0. It also
works on older versions (tested with 1.1.1, 1.2.2, 1.4.2,
1.5.3).
