Dear Wolfgang Denx,
But your suggested optimizations will only be effective if someone tries to write to "serial#". This is not normally done (attempt can be considered an error).
Can it? What make you think so?
There are lots of boards that come fresh out of production with a virgin environment, where setting "serial#" is a perfectly normal thing, and not an error at all.
Indeed, in the factory it is normal to set the serial number. Any later attempt to "overwrite" it is an error (why the code rejects doing it).
