Re: [U-Boot] [PATCH] fw_env.c: use default env values if config file cannot be opened

Dear Frans,

As you mentioned in another reply the common practice nowadays seems to be

to use a conf file. This has the disadvantage that the conf file can get lost or misplaced.

True. And this is an error situation, for wich a proper error message should be issued, and execution terminated.

Paperingover such a bug is IMHO a very bad idea.

BTW: it could also be argued that the specification of the config file should be in the board config, not in fw_env.h.

Yes, that could be argued. But this is unrelated tot his patch.

I still tend to reject it.

Best regards,
