Dear "Moffett, Kyle D",
In message 5BF60315-656D-4173-8722-9E2EC99AAEDE@boeing.com you wrote:
For the boards that *do* set CONFIG_PANIC_HANG, none of the fatal errors in common/cmd_bootm.c should cause U-Boot to reset, they are all valid panic() conditions, such as GZIP overwrite errors and fatal image format issues. In those cases this is also a bugfix.
These boards may rely on such behaviour, for example by then booting an altenative image. This _is_ a change of behavior, even if only for a relatively small number of boards.
Best regards,
Wolfgang Denk
