[U-Boot] [PATCH] Add support to Colibri PXA-270 board

[Detlev Zundel <dzu@denx.de>]

Hi Alon,

> I don't understand why you are so angry...

Maybe because you misunderstood me.  Let me assure you, that I'm not
angry.  I only wanted to make a clear statement that there are people on
this list who spend really lots of time in the "unsexy job" of cleaning
up code.

This usually takes way longer than writing new code and of course this
is also completely invisible to the casual reader of the sorce code.
One also never gets any return from it, because one "does not add any
new shiny features".

Because of this, not many people attend to this type of work, so what I
try to do is to ensure that we *need as few cleanup as possible* right
upfront.

> There is no simple implementation of code reuse within the boards.

Are you sure?  You did not look very hard then.  In a strict sense it
may be true that "board directories" do not share much code (although
even that is done by some), but this is missing the point.

If something proves to be board-independent, it usually means it is only
architecture specific, so it can go there and be reused by *all* boards
of that architecture.

> You know the code much better than I do.
> Please free to drop this implementation.

Oh please, we really value all contributions, but if we were to accept
everything unconditionally, the code would explode in no time.

Please reconsider and try to reuse the code instead of copying it.
Maybe put it into pxa270 specific places.  Maybe Stefano has some good
ideas?

Cheers
  Detlev
