What do you mean by "change it back"?
To allocate resources from the top.
When has this been changed before?
There isn't one. I mean back to kernel's way. Why should U-boot use different way from kernel to allocate resources since most PCI parts are similar (equivalent) to kernel?
This is not a change "back" then, as we never used this setup before.
You are aware that you will cause LOT of regression testings with such a change?
Yes, I know. Hopefully not too much. This change will only change the
I think such a change affects about 128 boards...
*ALL* of these need thorough regression testing after such a significant change.
I wouldn't do this lightly...
allocation direction. Once U-boot has same algorithm with kernel, it is easier to maintain in the future.
What exactly is the problem you're trying to fix? The fact that it's different is IMHO not enough of a reason to change it.
