I went through the u-boot mem init and detected you apparently added the following undocumented portion of code (the writel((1 << 24 ...) already:
112 static void initialize_dram_values(void) 113 { 114 int i; 115 116 mxs_adjust_memory_params(dram_vals); 117 118 for (i = 0; i < ARRAY_SIZE(dram_vals); i++) 119 writel(dram_vals[i], MXS_DRAM_BASE + (4 * i)); 120 121 #ifdef CONFIG_MX23 122 writel((1 << 24), MXS_DRAM_BASE + (4 * 8)); 123 #endif 124 }
[...]
Sorry about me blowing. Anyway, I better put down the message I would like to relay. Otavio, please follow these steps:
- Work in proper sequence -- patches must apply one after another. The
same way you cannot build house from the roof to the ground, you can not apply patches in anachronistic order against their dependencies.
- Prove why your patch fixes issues -- apply proper reasoning. Do a
proper research, there's no time-limit for sending a patch. There is no deadline, take your time.
- Step back and slow down -- please do not roll one patch after another,
wait for more reviews. This does put a great deal of strain on everyone in the ML, so please be considerate ; you are flooding the mailing list for no reason ; you are also pushing too much work on the reviewers. Thus, wait for some reviews, then fix the issues and repost.
- Focus on the changes you make -- look at the stuff above, you need to
properly study the code instead of rolling out random patches. Properly focus on a single task, finish it, then move on to the other task.
Hacking is not a race, it's an art .
I've been trying to be cooperative and to improve on the way. I (as other humans) do mistakes but I try to fix them as soon as possible.
I've been trying to get MX23 in basic working state (for users) and do wish to have it for next release and that's why I am trying to make things fast; I am sorry by the patch but it is normal to make mistakes on the way.
I am glad you noticed it but not so glad by the way you communicated it.
Slow down already. We can apply minor things after the MW. If you go at this pace, it helps noone really. So just take it easy, carefully review the patches etc.
Best regards, Marek Vasut
