Dear Puneet Saxena,
Hi Marek, I adapted my patch for git://git.denx.de/u-boot-usb.git master branch. As the build for target "Seaboard" is broken once I enable USB in Seaboard.h, I am unable to test my changes on "u-
boot-usb".
u-boot-usb is forked off the mainline u-boot.git ... tegra stuff likely isn't pulled there. Simon, can you tell me when this is gonna be
there?
Simon's USB/fdt patch set will be pulled into -arm first, then -main, when he adapts the 'panic' putc patchset (implement pre-console putc for fdt warning) to meet with Wolfgang's approval. Once that's done (hopefully early this week), I can submit another pull request to finally get this series in.
Simon - can we have an ETA?
I'd love to see some ETA on u-boot-arm push from Albert Aribaud :-( Albert, how're you doing ?
Thanks!
u-boot-tegra/master has the fdt/USB patches, and has been pulled into ARM master.
We need the cacheline/buffer alignment patch now, to remove the volcanic spew whenever you do any USB commands.
Can you guys (Puneet & Marek, and Mike/Simon if necessary) work together to get this in soon?
Ain't you gonna help us? I believe the patch is really close to be usable, it just needs some easy debugging, won't you volunteer, it'd really help? :)
I can apply the latest patch (v8?) and see how much spew is still present, but I (a) have no expertise in cache/USB issues and (b) have a ton of patches to apply/push for Tegra2 and (as soon as those are in) Tegra3, so my BW is limited, and finally (c) this is Puneet's work, and I'd like to see him complete it (with help from the list).
Tom
Thanks,
Tom

I would have to merge lots of changes from "denx-uboot-tegra" to make it working for "u-boot-usb.git" master branch. I can send the adapted patch if it's needed.
The problem I see is that there are important USB patches in mainline, though they are not in -tegra. So the approach I'd take if I were you would be to rebase -tegra atop of mainline for yourself and then apply your patch. Does that work for you?
Thanks, Puneet
Thanks!
