Subject: [U-Boot] [PATCH v2] fdt: Allow non-FDT kernels to boot when CONFIG_OF_LIBFDT is defined
Date: Thu, 27 Nov 2014 13:24:16 -0800 [thread overview]
Message-ID: <1417123456-30398-1-git-send-email-suriyan.r@gmail.com> (raw)
The boot commands - bootz/bootm mandate a third argument which is the
address to the FDT blob. In cases where this argument is not specified,
boot fails with a message indicating a missing FDT.
This causes non-FDT kernels to fail to boot. This patch allows both FDT
and non-FDT kernels to boot by making the third parameter to the bootm/bootz
optional.

Changes in v2:
- Simon: take care of real non error cases by introducing a no_fdt label to
jump to instead of piggy backing on the error label. Also, use !select
instead of argc <= 2.
- I am assuming this will have to be Tested-by and Acked-by again as there
are more code changes than before. Hence dropping them.
Changes in v1:
