Dear Sughosh Ganu,

This patch is needed for adding board support for the hawkboard which uses nand_spl based boot mechanism.
Why would that be the case?
The board file is symlinked under the nand_spl/board directory and we cannot do relative path based file inclusion.
Which points out where the actual problem comes from: relative path based file inclusion is a Bad Thing and should be avoided.
So then can we remove the relative path based inclusion used by all files under board/davinci. We would need to add corresponding path entries to the board's config.mk.
If these headers are indeed common to all davinci boards, they should probably be moved to arch/arm/cpu/arm926ejs/davinci/
Ok. In that case, i guess i can keep them in the same place. Would rename them as davinci_misc.h and da8xx_common.h, and add the include path in my board's config.mk. Is this fine.
I don't understand what you man by "keep them in the same place". Where?
I meant not moving the files to arch/arm/cpu/arm926ejs/davinci, and keep them in their current location under board/davinci.
