[U-Boot-Users] PATCH: Introducing CONFIG_BOARD_PRE_RESET

[Steven Scholz <steven.scholz@imc-berlin.de>]

Dear Wolfgang,

>>> Well, it's a bug in the CPU. If the LCDC DMA is running, the cpu 
>>> won't reboot with a simple "mov pc, r0".
>> Ummm... you don't call this a "reset", do you?
> Well that's what is done (work) for most ARM920T... Execeptions are

> #ifdef CONFIG_S3C2400
>         bl      disable_interrupts
> # ifdef CONFIG_TRAB
>         bl      disable_vfd
> # endif
> ...

> BTW cominh to think about it: Does "bl disable_vfd" by any chance

Any new opinions on this topic? Or is it closed for you and my suggestion rejected?
