[U-Boot] v2015.04-rc4: broken for custom TI-based board

[Peter Kuemmel]

I have a custom board which boots with a patched
cm_t35 configuration based on the v2015.01 release.

When I update to v2015.04-rc4 the system reboots
after the x-loader has read u-boot from MMC and
started it.

Does someone has an idea which change could be
responsible for this?

Many thanks,
Peter

IIUC, we have a working v2015.01 and non working v2015.04-rc4?

Not sure. May be you can run a quick git bisect?
v2015.01 .. v2015.04-rc4 shouldn't be too much.

After bisecting it figures out that the default configuration
does not work: I have to disable "Enable Driver Model for serial drivers"
But still have to enable the "Driver Model", even without any other drivers
are selected. (Seems I have to read some documentation about the driver model).

Thanks,
Peter

Adding Simon to Cc.
Simon, can you please shed some light on this?

If you look in this file there is platform data for the serial port:

arch/arm/cpu/armv7/am33xx/board.c

U_BOOT_DEVICES(am33xx_uarts) = {
...

Do you think this might be missing for this board?

For the omap3 boards it is supported to be here:
arch/arm/cpu/armv7/omap3/board.c

But perhaps for some reason it is not included?

Simon
