The patch is created against current CVS 2005 feb. 23 and fixes problems for boards that only have word access to the NS16550 UART peripheral.
CHANGELOG: * Patch by Jean-Paul Saman, 23 Feb 2005 common/cmd_bdinfo.c - fixes bug with negative baudrate: correct use of unsigned long datatype for bi_baudrate, properly cast bd_t *bd = (bd_t*) gd->bd; make information more clear: print_num("DRAM bank nr", i); include/asm-arm/u-boot.h - fixes bug with negative baudrate: use of unsigned long for bi_baudrate and adding an unsigned char pad[2] makes the struct word aligned changed ulong into unsigned long for consistency include/ns16550.h - fixes alignement bug with UART that only supports word aligned access: removed "__attribute__ ((packed));" for "(CFG_NS16550_REG_SIZE == 4)" GCC generates bytes access when it encounters the packed attribute regardless if the struct is already word aligned for a platform. Peripherals that can only handle word aligned access won't work properly when accessed with byte access. The struct NS16550 is already word aligned for REG_SIZE = 4, so there is no need to packed the struct in that case.
Kind greetings,
