Since this adds size to the build, do not add it by default
and avoid putting it in the SPL build if not needed.

Hi, has anyone had time to review this?


Hi Ben, this looks really useful. I'd like to use it in SPL,
but I'm unable to enable CONFIG_SPL_FRAMEPOINTER=y. It's likely
that you need to add a SPL_FRAMEPOINTER entry to Kconfig as well.

I will have a look at this, but testing may not be easy as the
setup we're using has limited SPL space.


I did a hack (duplicate `config FRAMEPOINTER` to `config SPL_FRAMEPOINTER`)

This is sufficient for enabling CONFIG_SPL_FRAMEPOINTER=y. With this, I
tested SPL on JH7110 (VisionFive 2), and observed your patch's working:

Ok, thank you for testing.

If I put this into v2 of the patch, do you want crediting with
a co-author tag?

Looks like you just need a `config SPL_FRAMEPOINTER` entry in Kconfig.
