This is a first stab at the linker-generated array. Basically, this concept is a generic abstraction of how u_boot_cmd works today. The patch 2/3 contains a huge pile of documentation which should clarify most of the questions.
NOTE: Compile-testing in progress, but it works with m28evk and sandbox
for now.Marek Vasut (3): common: Add symbol handling for generic lists into Makefile common: Implement support for linker-generated arrays common: Add .u_boot_list into all linker files
So... it's a generic version of the u_boot_cmd infrastructure. Do you start using this in DM?
Exactly
Would it be a lot of work to make patch #4 be converting u_boot_cmd?
I don't want to. I want to do it in a separate patch. One reason is because this might be used where u_boot_cmd is not. Other reason is that this will eventually replace u_boot_cmd, but I want that in a separate patch (I do have that in works).
Or do you just want to say, once folks are happy with this of course, that the first bits of DM will depend on this series being merged?
DM will depend on this, yes
Thanks!
Best regards, Marek Vasut
