It is not going to be a walk in the park :) The big remaining part is string literals while still in flash, not sure how to solve these yet.
The original idea of having such a list of funtion pointers which just get executed one after another was to be able to wrap this into some "#ifndef CONFIG_INIT_SEQUENCE" and use this to allow for board- specific init sequences by just adding a #define with the needed list of functions to the board config files.
You can do that with weak functions too. Just make all the functions weak, then a board can overide with its own function.
That would not, for example, to allow to change the sequence - say one board needs to initialize PCI very early, but another one very late.
True, but as no one even uses this code ATM, it can't be a big deal.
OK. Well, this is not a bug fix, but a (more or less invasive) change to basic infrastructure. I will not add this so shortly before a release. Please rebase and resubmit when the next merge window is open.
Thanks.
