Boards are different... see for example "lib_ppc/board.c" - on some boards (BAB7xx and CPC45) we must initialize PCI early, while on some others we cannot initialize it that early.

so it's not really a problem as you can create for thoze two specific boards an early init easly

This was just one example - one which I had ready in memory. There are probably more of these.

and just for the understanding why does they need it?

Please see the comments in the code.

But saving memory was one of j24's arguments?

It's true but the binary size (u-boot.bin) not the memory management

So where exactly do you think you can save memory?

Best regards,
