Dear Daniel Mack,

No, I disagree. I don't care at all about any out-of-tree ports that might exist anywhere. I will not waste any thoughts about the eventual possibility that changes to the mainline U-Boot code might cause problems in such out-of-tree ports. That's not our problem.
What we're facing here is a clear build breakage that occurs in a combination of valid configuration flags. It's not an out-of-tree port.
We don't test all possible combinations of valid configuration flags. As long as nobody is affected, there is little urge to move.
But here the situation is different: it does affect an actual board which is in mainline:
-> ./MAKEALL delta Configuring for delta board... usb.c: In function 'usb_cpu_init': usb.c:46: error: 'UP2OCR' undeclared (first use in this function) usb.c:46: error: (Each undeclared identifier is reported only once usb.c:46: error: for each function it appears in.) make[1]: *** [usb.o] Error 1
I was just reporting that in order to help other who might face a similar problem.
I understand this, and I appreciate your help.
I just wanted to point out some limitations that affect code or configurations that are not in mainline.
Best regards,
Wolfgang Denk
