Dear Simon Glass,

This has different semantics in different places. Go with the bootm method and put it in a common function so that the behaviour is consistent in U-Boot. Update the docs.

It should be noted that this commit changes the behaviour of U-Boot for "autostart" users, thus it has the potential of breaking existent systems.
The problematic cases are in do_bootelf() [cmd/elf.c] and do_bootm_standalone() [common/bootm_os.c]; the 3rd place where this is used - bootm_maybe_autostart() [cmd/bootm.c] - does not change.
Or am I missing something?
Just to reply here, I sent an updated patch explaining that this does in fact change behaviour, but only in a case that seems safe enough.
Regards, Simon
