Dear Scott Wood,

So how do you propose that illegal divide operations be reported to the application?
In the same way as Linux is doing it (i. e. usually nothing at all) ?
What is so unreasonable about having a function to print a message and dump registers?
We didn't need one for the so far. What exactly do we need it for now?
You could even make it a weak symbol that stays at NULL, so any attempt to call it will trap that way (assuming NULL pointers are trapped in U-Boot on that architecture...).
As you know, they are not.
Best regards,
Wolfgang Denk
