I wanted to define the flash partition map in the kernel command line. I want to do this with reference to other u-boot environment variables, which contain the start addresses and sizes for each partition (just numbers). I found that if the "bootargs" environment variable contained macros, they were not expanded before the command line was passed to the kernel. The patch does this expansion. >Also, please stick with the rules for submitting patches. No worries - I will do that, except I don't know what they are. Where are the rules defined? If you can give me a link I will study them before I submit any more patches. Note that a search of the mailing list archive using "patch submission guidelines" as the keywords (which I did after reading your next email) returned only one reference - your next email (i.e. I spent some time hunting around for them, but couldn't find them).
