ARM_PATCH_PHYS_VIRT and AUTO_ZRELADDR have been enabled as default configs to S5P64X0 platforms.
Introduction of PHYS_VIRT config as default would enable phy-to-virt and virt-to-phy translation function at boot and module loading time and enforce dynamic reallocation of memory. AUTO_ZRELADDR config would enable calculation of kernel load address at run time.
PHYS_VIRT config is mutually exclusive to XIP_KERNEL, XIP_KERNEL is used in systems with NOR flash devices, and ZRELADDR config is mutually exclusive to ZBOOT_ROM.
CFT::Call For Testing
Requesting maintainers of S5P64X0 platforms to evaluate the changes on the board and comment, as I dont have the board for testing and also requesting an ACK

--- The samsung S5P64X0 vega has an average performing CPU with max speed 667 Mhz. This SOC has two variants S5P6440 and S5P6450. It has one core based on ARM1176JZF-S instruction set, and has 16KB data and instruction cache each.
SOC has a memory subsystem with support to NAND Flash interface with x8 data bus, with 1/4/8/12/16 bit hardware ECC circuit and 4KB Page mode. It has Mobile DDR interface with x16 or x32 data bus, and DDR2 interface with x16 or x32 data bus it also supports eMMC4.4.
