I am trying to fix the resource allocation bugs, but found things unexpected. I want to know if there is particular reason to allocate from bottom up. If not, I would change it back to kernel's way.
What do you mean by "change it back"?
To allocate resources from the top.
When has this been changed before?
There isn't one. I mean back to kernel's way. Why should U-boot use different way from kernel to allocate resources since most PCI parts are similar (equivalent) to kernel?
You are aware that you will cause LOT of regression testings with such a change?
Yes, I know. Hopefully not too much. This change will only change the allocation direction. Once U-boot has same algorithm with kernel, it is easier to maintain in the future.
