Hello Prafulla,
As stated in other email thread too. Now all dependencies for Sheevaplug board support are in accepted state except this patch http://lists.denx.de/pipermail/u-boot/2009-June/055112.html
I know that but I cannot test it because I do not have the hardware, so I depend on others here. (it might be even you). I already mentioned that I would prefer the cleanup patch from Michael Trimarchi, if it is correct.
At least there is 1 significant difference between your patch and the patch of Michael
Your patch contains this:
- typeReq = req->request << 8 | req->requesttype;
typeReq = req->request | req->requesttype << 8;
switch (le16_to_cpu(typeReq)) {
and Michael patch contains this:
- typeReq = req->request << 8 | req->requesttype;
- typeReq = req->request | req->requesttype << 8;
- switch (le16_to_cpu(typeReq)) {
- switch (typeReq) {
Dear Remy These two lines makes no difference for me since le16_to_cpu macro doesn't change anything for arm little-endian machines (i.e. Sheevaplug) Well.. for big endian machines someone need to check since it swaps bytes.
I think we should not remove this macro since it provides arch specific abstraction.
Regards.. Prafulla . .
So, at least one of them is wrong. This difference is reason enough for me to not pull either patch in until this is clear.
Kind Regards,
Remy
