[U-Boot] [PATCH v2 22/22] omap: spl: add more debug traces

[Wolfgang Denk <wd@denx.de>]

Dear Aneesh V,

In message <1305472900-4004-23-git-send-email-aneesh@ti.com> you wrote:

Console should _always_ be enabled as early as possible,

Can we not rather change the code so both configurations behave the
same?

Do we really need a new macro name?  Can this not be the same debug()
macro, just generating different code (if really needed) when building
the SPL code?

This is beyond the scope of "adding debug traces".  it must be split
into separate patch.

Also, please do not mess witrhout need with the RAM content - at the
very least, restore the previous values.

But then - I wonder why this is needed@all. Are you not using
get_ram_size()?  Maybe you should fix your code to using it!

NAK.  This is neither the right place for such a definition, nor do I
want to see this addressed like that.

I recommend to unify the code, so both SPL and non-SPL configurations
can use teh same early console behaviour.

This is overkill, isn't it?

This is wrong in the BOOT_DEVICE_MMC1 case.
