[U-Boot] A few things for the release?

[U-Boot] A few things for the release?

[Simon Glass]

Hi,

I have a few more series that I hope will go in this time.

1. I think bootstage is ready

http://patchwork.ozlabs.org/bundle/sjg/bootstage/

2. The generic board init series needs some updates to create
asm/sections.h for each architecture. This changes quite a few
patches, plus there is one that I can drop since Mike fixed s520_timer
already. So I will resend the whole series today. The is enabled only
by a config option.

3. For generic relocation, there is the issue of creating
lib/membasic.c (which is safe I think, but changes things for
everyone) versus using -ffunction-sections and possibly breaking some
boards. The latter solution is probably preferred in the long term,
but I'm not sure if Albert is keep on this happening now. See here for
details:

http://patchwork.ozlabs.org/patch/142216/

Albert, can you please take a look?

4. I have created a bundle for the ARM link-script series as it is today:

http://patchwork.ozlabs.org/bundle/sjg/lds/

Albert you had some comments, the latest of which I answered here:

http://patchwork.ozlabs.org/patch/142254/

Regadrs,
Simon

Using the nice subject ;)

5. I'm still hoping that we could get

http://patchwork.ozlabs.org/patch/136789/

into 2012.0{3,4}.

Best regards

Yes, I'm not sure. I think we have a new network maintainer now...

Do you have any comments on 3 and 4 below please? Otherwise lds can
perhaps go in as it in. For generic reloc I will issue a new series
which tidies up SPL a bit if there are no further comments, but
keeping the membasic.c approach for now.

Hi Wolfgang,

For bootstage I still have to sort out the timer function. The current
patch is here, but I think I will change it to put the timer function
into bootstage.c instead of time.c:

http://patchwork.ozlabs.org/patch/147745/

One thing I forgot to ask about is patman - the patch submission
script, now at v4. Do you want this in U-Boot at least for now?

The discussion is here:

http://patchwork.ozlabs.org/patch/136136/

and the README in the patch has instructions.

Regards,
Simon

Uh, great! Many thanks! :)

Do you plan to send a u-boot-net pull request to get this into 2012.04?

Many thanks again and best regards
