Re: [U-Boot] [PATCH 5/8] arm: Add boottime support for the ARM architecture

Dear Lee Jones,

In message 1353422034-28107-6-git-send-email-lee.jones@linaro.org you wrote:

This patch adds support for passing boot time information to the Linus kernel using ATAGS when booting on ARM based devices.

I implicitly mentioned this before, here it comes clear again:

I dislike the idea of adding such infrastructure in an archittecture dependent way, knowing from day one that we cannot use this as is for other architectures, and that the mechanism being used is even going to go away for this architecutre, too.

Please come up with a solution that works for all architectures instead.

Best regards,

Wolfgang Denk
