Subject: [U-Boot] [PATCH RFC 0/2] dcache on ARM
Date: Tue, 26 Jan 2010 22:50:10 +0100	[thread overview]
Message-ID: <20100126215010.GA26452@morgana.gnudd.com> (raw)

Hello Nick.

I see. So instead of both C and B you just need to C bit set in the
page table, and no B.

I propose to allow an extra option for write-back, leaving
write-through as the default. This matches the blackfin, which has
CONFIG_DCACHE_WB as an option, and leaves a safer default for those
who won't explicitly require WB policy.

Could you please confirm my patch works on that board after changing
the magic bits from 0x1e to 0x1a ? (I'll use symbolic constants
anyways in V2, this was just a quick RFC to see if the approach is
acceptable).
