Hi Robert,

i mentioned this this weekend as well, can someone clarify this? the source file cmd_df.c looks weird:
U_BOOT_CMD( sf, 2, 1, do_serial_flash, "Serial flash sub-system", "probe [bus:]cs - init flash device on given SPI bus and CS")
so the source file "cmd_df.c" allegedly defines a command called "sf", which invokes "do_serial_flash", which isn't even defined in that source file -- what's defined in that file is "do_df". i don't see "do_serial_flash" defined anywhere in the u-boot source tree. am i just being blind? i see no reference to that source file in Makefile, so i'm guessing it's historical cruft that could be deleted?
do_serial_flash() indeed does not appear anywhere. As for deleting, you should check which makefile builds cmd_df.c, under which condition, and if this condition is met in any U-Boot MAKEALL target. If not, just submit a patch to remove cmd_df.c from the baseline.
BTW: IMO, you should just submit a patch instead of asking. If the patch is ok, it'll be taken, and you didn't have anything to ask; if the patch is not OK, the one who NAKs it will tell you why, and you'll get the answer without asking. :)
Amicalement,
