Dear Michael Spang,
In message 1300391223-11879-6-git-send-email-mspang@csclub.uwaterloo.ca you wrote:
For ARM, the CONFIG_SKIP_LOWLEVEL_INIT option implies that the cpu_init_crit and lowlevel_init assembly functions are skipped. We may want to skip only lowlevel_init, so rename the option that skips both to CONFIG_SKIP_CPU_INIT_CRIT. The MIPS option of the same name is not renamed.
This is an inconsistency between architectures which I dislike.
Also, what in case we should want to skip only cpu_init_crit and not lowlevel_init? If we need to handle these separately, then we need 2 CONFIG options.
Best regards,
Wolfgang Denk
