+Subject: ar71xx/lzma-loader: fix O32 ABI conformance
+
+According to the calling convention of the o32 ABI the caller
+function must reserve stack space for $a0-$a3 registers in case
+the callee needs to save its arguments.
+
+The assembly code of the loader does not reserve stack space for
+these registers thus when the 'loader_main' function needs to save
+its arguments, those will be stored in the 'workspace' area instead
+of the stack.
+
+Because the workspace area is also used by other part of the code, the
+saved register values gets overwritten and this often leads to failed
+kernel boots.
+
+Fix the code to reserve stack space for the registers to avoid this
+error.
+
+Backport of r48279
