Thanks for commenting!

I know that this is no excuse for bad coding style, but please note 
that this stuff is already part of U-Boot, see lib_avr32/div64.c and 
include/asm-avr32/div64.h. My patch only moves the *unmodfied* files 
to lib_generic for general use, as proposed by H?vard. Same as U-Boot 
NG did ;)

Sorry if I misunderstood anything here. But with putting 
do_div/__div64_32 to a *library* boards use it only if they need it? 
Here, if they explicitly use do_div()? If they don't use do_div(), the 
memory footprint isn't increased because it simply isn't used?

Please find below some tests with omap5912osk_config which doesn't use 
do_div/__div64_32. The first numbers are with clean recent git, the 
second with my patch with div64 stuff moved to lib_generic. As 
expected, library size increases but image size stays the same. 
Anything wrong with this?

What's your proposal then with the 64bit division issue in nand_util.c?

Best regards
