Thanmks - but I think this needs a follow-up patch - Heiko is already
looking into that. On closer inspection it appears as if the whole
passing around of "bootflag" variables is just dead code - there is no
place anywhere in U-Boot that makes real use of this data. We should
remove all of the related code, which will make the code cleaner and
smaller - which might be especially welcome in a number of SPL
configurations.
Best regards,
Wolfgang Denk
