Subject: [U-Boot] [PATCH 2/2 V2] IOMUX: Add console multiplexing support.
Date: Mon, 20 Oct 2008 13:58:49 +0200	[thread overview]
Message-ID: <20081020135849.371fe4d1@ernst.jennejohn.org> (raw)
In-Reply-To: <20080914164530.0a59c6ca@peedub.jennejohn.org>


When both CONFIG_SYS_CONSOLE_IS_IN_ENV and CONFIG_NETCONSOLE are defined the
user can have stdout set to nc (netconsole).

This causes problems because u-boot will try to write to nc as soon as
GD_FLG_DEVINIT is set in gd->flags, which happens before the network devices
are initialized in net/eth.c.  This results in error messages being spewed
out.

To prevent this problem set GD_FLG_DEVINIT in net/eth.c:eth_initialize(), after
the network devices have been initialized, instead of in
common/console.c:console_init_r().
