Dear Jean-Christophe PLAGNIOL-VILLARD,

Good idea, but your implementation is flawed. It's critically important that the prioritization of board ethernet initialization over CPU ethernet initialization be preserved. Your idea doesn't handle that (at least that I can see).
with this only patch yes, but I'm preparing a full implementation that will If I understand correctly the board_eth_init is unsed to overwrite the default cpu_eth_init by passing different parameter
I would appreciate if you would - before spending time and effort on actual implementation - try and discuss your ideas for such a far-reaching change. So far, I cannot even see which sort of benefit you expect - keep in mind that U-Boot does not use virtual memory, so initcall memory freed will remain dead and unusable. Would you please explain where you expect advantages from such an implementation?
Best regards,
Wolfgang Denk
