Hi Albert,
can we get this applied please?
I still don't understand what this is supposed to do -- why not linking this code is required.
Amicalement,
Hi Albert,
I use very different start.S in SPL. And I don't need cpu.o at all.
That I understand; but is there a /problem/ in linking cpu.o in?
I suppose it'll be optimized out at link time ?
That indirectly answers my question: what you want to achieve is removing dead code.
Now, about your question, you can check this if you build the board you intend to apply this to, and do an objdump of the generated SPL: you'll see if the cpu.o functions are present or not.
(my point being that if cpu.o is to disappear because its functions are either useless or should move elsewhere, then the interest of a patch making cpu.o optional is short-lived.)
Cheers
Amicalement,
