Re: [U-Boot-Users] [PATCH] Small bug fixes for AT91RM9200DK board

Hello,

in message JPEIKMACJJPLJFDEAJEMKEGDIBAA.nicolas.lacressonniere@rfo.atmel.com you wrote:

• It fixes an Ethernet Initialization problem. Now able to start Linux

directly from U-Boot without being forced to perform a tffp command before.

Rejected.

This is not a problem in U-Boot, but in your Linux driver. The rule is that U-boot will initialize ONLY that hardware which it uses itself, and it may even de-initialize the hardare after use. A Linux driver must not make any assumptions about initialization of the hardware done or not doen in the boot loader. It is resposnible to initialize the hardware to a usable state itself.

• Timings Modifications for SPI DataFlash accesses.
• It fixes a NandFlash Detection problem

Please split the patch and resubmit only the last 2 items.

In general, please don't combine unrelated modifications in a single patch.

Thanks.

Best regards,
