While trying out the latest u-boot from my board I noticed that support for using a prebuilt OF tree compiled int u-boot is gone. The oftree_dtb symbol is gone and I can't find a replacement.
Why was it removed and is there a replacement?
If there isn't a replacement I request that one is added.
It's been replaced with support in the bootm command for passing the .dtb
New boot sequence: 1) load kernel into memory (or flash) 2) load initrd into memory (optional) 3) load .dtb into memory (optional) 4) bootm <kenreladdr> [initrdaddr] [dtbaddr]
If a dtbaddr is provided; then the dtb is passed to the kernel. If it is not; then old style booting is used instead. If you don't have an initrd, but do have a .dtb; pass '-' as the initrdarrd.
ie:
tftp 200000 uImage tftp 400000 lite5200.dtb bootm 200000 - 400000
