All,

I should have fulfilled all pending pull requests and patches. I will be 
sending out the ARM pull request shortly; let me know if anything is 
wrong with it.

FWIW, ./MAKEALL arm on current u-boot-arm/master with CS toolchain 
2010q1 builds 277 boards, of which none has errors and 167 have warnings.

The total count of warnings is 248, distributed as:

4	post.c:503: warning: #warning "Not implemented yet"

79	mmc.c:132: warning: no return statement in function returning non-void

165	ohci-hcd.c:{1307,1310,1313}: warning: dereferencing pointer 
'pretmp.NNN' does break strict-aliasing rules

(the last one is actually 3 * 51 warnings)

The first one is obvious and should be dealt with, but I consider it not 
to be a blocker, for only 4 boards.

The second one seems straightforward to fix today, if not already submitted.

The third one may be an issue, but it could also be a zealous warning 
from the specific CS toolchain version I am using. Anyway, it does not 
seem ARM related as such.

Therefore I will issue the ARM pull request right away.

Amicalement,

I did create a patch for this - it is marked delegated to Marek.

Would be nice to get rid of it, but I think it is specific to some toolchains.

The 4 warnings come from our boards (Keymile ARM boards).

I have just sent a patch that corrects this warning.

And stupid maintainer didn't look into it ... bad, bad maintainer. Accept my 
apology. But wasn't it decided with Mike that this was indeed a toolchain issue 
and not all toolchains choke on it?

:-)

Yes. It does feel like a broken toolchain (I felt that the original
code should be warning free, even when I wrote my patch) but it seems
that Albert gets this warning as well. Maybe we should fix it?

I don't see this with ELDK 4.2 or 5.0 or 5.1 ;-)

Maybe fundamental rewrite of that code might help instead of adding bandaids ;-)

Nope. It only happens with some toolchains. That said, it blights my
MAKEALL at present.

Yes I'm sure, or even getting rid of the 3 separate versions of this
file in U-Boot. Hope springs eternal.
