[U-Boot-Users] command for handling DDR ECC registers on MPC8349EE MDS board

[U-Boot-Users] command for handling DDR ECC registers on MPC8349EE MDS board

[Ed Swarthout]

Since this DDR memory controller is a feature of the SoC platform which is 
common to a few cpu's and many boards, what is the preferred way to add this 
new command to the other boards which could take advantage of it?

The list of boards include at least:
mpc8540ads, mpc8560ads, cds/mpc8541cds, cds/mpc8555cds, and cds/mpc8548cds.

Thanks,
-EdS

As usual: try to adapt it to a board so you can see which parts of it
are common, and which are board-specific. Then split the code, moving
clearly common stuff to the cpu/mpc83xx/ directory.

Be careful, though. MPC834x is not MPC85xx. I suggest you  first  try
it out on a 85xx board.

Best regards,
