Hi Marek,


Can I get you to do this again? I'd the symbol for
MACH_MX6Q_SABRELITE.

Thanks
Troy

No, can you please submit the mach-types update yourself? Thank you!

I don't think I'm trusted to do that. I think that some machines may 
have been removed
from Linux that u-boot may want to keep. Since I only want to use the 
value in 1 place,
is it acceptable to just use the hex value instead?

Thanks
Troy

So these machines have to define their mach id in their config (and you need to fix them after replacing mach-types).

No, either update the mach types (preffered) or ... Update the mach types ;)

Thanks in advance. M

It was discussed and accepted that the boards can set CONFIG_MACH_TYPE
directly into the configuration file. In this way, we continue to
support in U-Boot boards independently if they are pushed to Linux
mainline or not.

On the other side, everybody can send the current mach-types from the
Linux kernel to Albert (ARM Maintainer) - if a board is already in
kernel mainline is the preferred way.

Best regards,
Stefano Babic

Thanks for the information. I'll send to Albert soon.

Just out of curiosity: Why do you need that?

It was my understanding that with recent U-Boot and Kernel on SabreLite 
DeviceTree is the way to go? And this doesn't need the mach-types any more?

Maybe Troy wants to also allow U-boot to load a non-DT kernel, such as
the one provided by Freescale?

That's exactly right. With the addition of a couple of small things:

	- machid
	- revision tag (used by Freescale's kernel)

we can start shipping main-line U-Boot with Sabre Lite.

This seems like a worthwhile step, especially for those of us switching
between kernels.

I have pushed this change to arm/next

This is a process change.
I am using the latest machine registry.

If you were waiting on an update, your machine should now
be here.
