Re: [U-Boot] [RFC] New init sequence processing without init_sequence array

Dear Mike Frysinger,

If you look at the current code - heavily larded with #ifdefs of all shapes and colors - I cannot see any good way to transform this into an initcall (and thus sequence number based) implementation. Do you have any specific ideas how to address this?

if the funcs get merged by the linker script, the board still has full control over the init order by writing their own linker script

Indeed. So we have yet another point that makes debugging, understanding and reviewing the code more difficult - now a simple typo in the linker script also has the potential to mess up the init sequence in not exactly funny ways.

Best regards,
