Linux Kernel has for a long time a well-optimized mechanism for for calling initiallisation code. Import the the same functionnality to U-Boot.
Evenif it will increase a few U-Boot (999 bytes) as show in PATCH 3/3 if we convert the NET_MULTI it will decrease of 2212 bytes at the end
What would be the purpose of this in a boot loader?
For Linux iot makes sense to free each and every byte which is no longer needed because applications running can really benefir from it. But in U-Boot? Please check the memory map of the running system. The memory regained will not even be usable by anybody...
What sort of benefit do you expect?
Best regards,
