The bf527-ezkit boards are getting too big to fit into their reserved flash space, so we need to use a lzma compressed logo.
Since the video driver code is very similar, add lzma compressed support to all of the Blackfin video drivers.
So what exactly do you plan to do when the u-boot won't fit into the reserved flash space next time ?
i'll worry about that when it comes
maybe you can introduce decompressor into u-boot like linux has it and compress the rest of uboot with lzma/xz ? :)
i've thought of doing that in the past. for some people, size matters a _lot_ more than speed. although i looked at implementing it with the Blackfin bootrom callback mechanism rather than in u-boot directly. i guess the SPL code could do the same thing "easily". -mike
