[U-Boot] [ANN] v2016.05-rc3

[Tom Rini]

Hey all,

I know I did v2016.05-rc2 just last week, but that's because I was off
schedule.  We are two weeks out from scheduled release, so he's -rc3.
Please test this everywhere you can.  The diffstat here is large due to
moving things from config.h to Kconfig but the binary delta is not.  At
this point forward, I expect things that come in to be bug fixes of a
fairly important nature.  Oh, and I'm going to re-generate the
defconfigs and let people know about the surprises that spring up.
Correcting those is also fine.  Thanks all!

I'm having issues with v2016.05-rc3 booting beaglebone black from eMMC
and microSD, reverting ef5ebe951bec72631cdbc7cef9079e6c684e5d0b
"ti_armv7_common.h: Fix U-Boot location on eMMC" seems to fix the issue
for me.

It appears this patch changed where the raw offsets for loading
u-boot.img are, though the "old" offsets are already in widespread use,
so would be unfortunate to have to change them everywhere else.


live well,

Indeed this is a problem.  I think for this release we might have to
revert the change and then moving forward extend SPL to allow this
location to come via the environment (which we do for example with
bootcount) so that other use-cases can change things as needed.  Sorry
for the confusion, I had thought the patch was doing something slightly
different than it is.
