This is useful for people who have not moved the microcode. Are we going to ensure that everyone who updates U-Boot will also move their microcode to the new location? We can always revert this patch after everyone has migrated, if that's really necessary. You know as well as I do that if don't provide backwards compatibility, someone is going to break and won't know why. > Don't we already have a > warning if we don't find the ucode at the expected address. No. The warning just says that microcode is invalid, not that that it's at the wrong address. -- Timur Tabi Linux kernel developer at Freescale
