Re: [U-Boot] [PATCH 5/7 v2] OMAP3: Add serial number based on die ID

Dear Dirk,

Add serial number based on OMAP3 die ID.

If it's a die ID, and if you really need to store this in an environment variable, it should be probably called "dieid" or "die_id" or similar ?

...

I agree that's a funny concept, but then we don't make any specifications how a board vendor defines the serial numbe rof his boards.

In other words: I don't care much.

Any hint or proposal how to go on with now? Someone proposed to change string 'serial#' to 'cpu#' in this patch. Would a patch with this change get an ack?

"cpu#" (read: cpu number) seems wrong to me - I would probably expect that this holds the CPU core number in a multi-core setup.

Best regards,
