Dear "Hiremath, Vaibhav",

[Hiremath, Vaibhav] But atleast it will make code to compile cleanly. I
feel,
at any cost we should not add such patches which will break compilation, the code should build always.
If the code compiles without problems, but then fails to run, the situation would be only worse.
[Hiremath, Vaibhav] I agree that the situation in both the case is going to be only worst, but I feel we should not merge the patches which breaks other platforms.
Anyway I will test this for AM3517, OMAP3EVM and submit the patch shortly.
Thanks, Vaibhav
It is MUCH BETTER to roar a clear and unmistakable error message into the face of the user so everybody gets aware that some work needs to be done to fix these boards rather than to hush up the problems, in which case nobody would do anything, and a much bigger turmoil would start when the feature removel time comes and all these broken boards get removed from the tree,
[Hiremath, Vaibhav] I
