[U-Boot] [PATCH 2/7] Expand POST memory test to support arch-depended implementation.

[sun york-R58495 <R58495@freescale.com>]

Wolfgang,

Without progress indicator, slowe test on memory takes minutes and it looks like hanging. You probably don't want to run it every time the board boots up.

Dear York Sun,

NAK.

POST is supposed to be an automatic, unmonitored functionality.
Results are suposed to be reported through a mechanism compatible to
Linux' syslog system.

There is no place for progress indicators here.


Please note that your subject "support arch-depended implementation"
and the commit message "Add progress indicator" are seriously out of
sync as well.  Another reason for a NAK.

Best regards,

Wolfgang Denk
