Dear Reinhard Meyer,
In message 4C873717.6000403@emk-elektronik.de you wrote:
Since it apparently takes roughly two months for additions to the database at http://www.arm.linux.org.uk/developer/machines/ (last entry: 3061 right now) to trickle to the u-boot file, there seems to be a need for an interim solution.
In theory it would be possible to sync against www.arm.linux.org.uk directly, but people with better ARM knowledge than me recommended not to do that, but refer to a more stable reference like the mainline Linux kernel instead.
I'm open to suggestions.
Currently I conditionally add the MACH_TYPE_xxx locally to the <board>.h file, but I am quite sure a patch with that would be rejected...
Right. This is not a good idea.
Of course best would be to get rid of mach-types.h completely. It does not really seem suited to differentiate between board variants...
You want to fight this flamewar with RMK, not me :-)
Best regards,
Wolfgang Denk
