Hi Alon,
It was not my intention to add publicity my name, but provide a solution for users, as it took a lot of work to make it work without many changes from other implementation.
Adding someones name to code that one has written is primarily not for publicity reasons but for somple tracking reasons. Who do you think people will turn to if they see problems in the code? What would you say if someone mailed you about a problem in "your" code which you have never seen before?
Any way to do it using a reuse would be super, although this is not the only duplication in u-boot board tree...
Yes, and maybe you realize how *damn* (sorry) some of us work to eliminate this. I never tire of stating that the cost of fixing a problem in software is exponential to the time of its discovery.
Translated into U-Boot context this means, that we do *not* allow simple code duplication. If such a case slips through the review process, this is nowhere near a reason to allow it the next time.
So please, reconsider adding to the mess instead of decreasing it or even keeping the mess-level constant ;)
Cheers Detlev
