Hi Simon,

At present the bootm code is mostly duplicated for the plain 'bootm' command and its sub-command variant. This makes the code harder to maintain and means that changes must be made to several places.
Introduce do_bootm_states() which performs selected portions of the bootm work, so that both plain 'bootm' and 'bootm <sub_command>' can use the same code.
Additional duplication exists in bootz, so tidy that up as well. This is not intended to change behaviour, apart from minor fixes where the previously-duplicated code missed some chunks of code.

Simon, this patch breaks bootm (at least on powerpc), while booting an compressed uImage (with DT). It just hangs while decompressing the kernel image:
## Booting kernel from Legacy Image at 01000000 ... Image Name: Linux-3.5.7 Image Type: PowerPC Linux Kernel Image (gzip compressed) Data Size: 2203312 Bytes = 2.1 MiB Load Address: 00000000 Entry Point: 00000000 ## Flattened Device Tree blob at 01800000 Booting using the fdt blob at 0x1800000 Uncompressing Kernel Image ...
I bisected mainline and this patch is the one that breaks booting:

Refactor the bootm command to reduce code duplication
I already looked what might be wrong but I couldn't find any problem upon a quick glance. You know this code may better. Perhaps you could take look at it and give it a try as well.
Thanks, Stefan
