[U-Boot] [PATCH] NetLoop initialization bug

27 Mar 2009

Hi Heiko,
The patch "netloop: speed up NetLoop" you delivered
into the u-boot-2009.03 introduced bug I have described
below a few days ago. Could you please take a look at
the proposed fix?
Thanks,
Michael

[U-Boot] [PATCH] NetLoop initialization bug
Upon u-boot's start up the first ping command causes a failure of the
consequent TFTP command. It happens in the recently added mechanism of
the NetLoop initialization where initialization of global network parameters is
separated in the NetInitLoop routine which is called per env_id change.
Thus, ping request will initialize the network parameters necessary for ping
operation only, afterwards the env_changed_id will be set to the env_id
that will prevent all following initialization requests from other protocols.
The problem is that the initialized by ping subset of network parameters is not
sufficient for other protocols and particularly for TFTP
which requires the NetServerIp also.
