Re: [U-Boot] [PATCH] arm1136: timer: Replace bss variable by gd

Dear Albert & Heiko,

In message 4D01E031.3090100@free.fr you wrote:

...

Reuse the gd->tbl value for timestamp and add gd->lastinc for lastinc bss values in the arm1136 timer driver for mx31 and omap24xx

The usage of bss values in drivers before initialisation of bss is forbid> den. In that special case some data in .rel.dyn gets corrupted.

This patch is similiar to the patch Dirk Behme posted for the armv7/omap-common/timer.c

Tested on the mx31 based qong board

Should I pull this into v2010.12, or should we rather wait for amore general solution and fix it in the next release?

Best regards,
