Dear Graeme Russ,
In message CALButCJqp4CPvpwc_ri9fp6tcd=Az-7Si=FMMc0adWBHMDtVQw@mail.gmail.com you wrote:
I agree. While gd->arch does look a bit 'ugly', it immediately unlocks the path forward to unifying the init loop. The x86 board.c would be a good start (IMNSHO) by simply making the init sequence arrays extern. From there we can tackle what really needs to be in gd and what can simply be run of the mill global variables. I think most of what is under gd->arch may just 'fall out'
OK, it seems I have the weekest arguments. I will not fight about that.
But I would definitely like to know exactly how much we pay for in terms of code size.
Best regards,
Wolfgang Denk
