Hi Dirk,

Third, I don't like the mixing of board and vendor name as directory names. It seems to me that where you think you know the vendor, you use the vendor name, and where you seem to not know it, you use the board name. So, to be consistent, and to overcome vendor name issue above, I'd like to use the board name everywhere. That is:
Jean-Christophe's patches seem to follow the current U-Boot convention - use board/<vendor> when a vendor has multiple boards, and use board/<boardname> when a vendor only has 1 board. I can't speak to the accuracy of how he split boards up, but his idea seems correct.
board/beagle/ board/omap3evm/ board/omap1510inn/ ... board/omap5912osk/ ... board/omap2420h4/ ... board/zoom1/ board/zoom2/ board/overo/ board/pandora/ ...
This isn't in line with how U-Boot currently organizes the board/ directory.
To improve this even more, something like this would be nice:
board/omap3beagle/ board/omap3evm/ board/omap1innovator/ ... board/omap1osk/ ... board/omap2h4/ ... board/omap3zoom1/ board/omap3zoom2/ board/omap3overo/ board/omap3pandora/ ...
Neither is this. Jean-Christophe seems to be doing the "right" thing with his patches and I'd ACK them assuming the boards are put in the proper board/<vendor> and board/<boardname> directory.
Best, Peter
