Dear Rafal,
in message 47684C6F.8080303@semihalf.com you wrote:
If backwards compatibility is required then yes, this would be nice to have, but let's try not to miss the whole picture: with current U-Boot nine (9) standalone very simple programs are shipping, which use the jumptable approach. Why would they suffer with a more generic calling mechanism?
Please note that more than 9 are shipping; some are just not in the examples directory. See for example the trab_fkt code in board/trab.
And some more are not in the U-Boot tree because they make use of the fact that standalone apps don't need to be under GPL.
But this is not intended to argument with you - I feel you are right. I just wanted to get the facts clear.
Best regards,
Wolfgang Denk
