Re: [U-Boot] [PATCH] lib: Add CONFIG_FDT_IGNORE_FIXUP_MEMORY_NODE

Dear Nobuhiro Iwamatsu,

In message 1396846600-15386-1-git-send-email-nobuhiro.iwamatsu.yj@renesas.com you wrote:

Usually, when CONFIG_OF_LIBFDT is enabled, U-Boot is set to the FDT memory information that is set in the U-Boot. This patch disables this behavior.

Please explain why you would want to do this. To me it makes no sense. Either U-Boot knows the correct memory size, then it should pass it to Linux. Or it does not, then U-Boot should be fixed.

Also, I object that your implementation is ARM specific. If such a feature gets added, it should be architecture independent.

Thanks.
