Umnmm... no. "go" is supposed to be return to U-Boot, i. e. it must not overwrite (or otherwise meddle with) any U-Boot code.
I think you should not change cache status for "go".
reality is that people often times use go to execute their binary blobs. i also see it this way: go means to jump to some address and most likely never return.
This may be your private interpretation, but it is wrong.
Intended and documented behaviour is that "go" is used to start standalone applications, which are supposed to return.
then how exactly are people supposed to execute their flat binaries ? none of the other boot methods allow for straight jumps that i'm aware of. otherwise i'm going to have to add even more bloat to add a slight variation on the go command: one where the documentation doesnt require it to return. -mike
