This is much better than changing Troy's get_cpu_rev(). Thanks :)
I am glad you like it :-)
But what's about to add this code to
http://git.freescale.com/git/cgit.cgi/imx/linux-2.6-imx.git/tree/arch/arm/ke...
Because I cannot post a patch in the U-boot list to fix an internal FSL kernel :-)
I can certainly suggest this (and yes, I fully agree that the kernel should handle the CPU detection without relying at the bootloader at all), but from a U-boot perspective we cannot really know which kernel version the user will deploy.
If we want mainline U-boot to work with this particular kernel version on mx6 solo, then we need to adjust ATAGS as proposed by my patch.
Ok, sounds reasonable, agreed.
Even if someone might complain that this is off-topic here, again ( ;) ): Do you like to check if the recent _mainline_ kernel wants something similar?
Best regards
Dirk
