Re: [U-Boot-Users] [Patch] Disable icache before call the first line of kernel in do_bootelf().

Hi,

...

On some architecture, it is not save to call the first line of kernel without disable the instruction cache. For do_bootm() path, architecture specific library code do_bootm_linux() can adress this issue, but do_bootelf() is common code. This patch disables icache before call kernel.

Did you test the impact of this change on all other architectures but the one you are talking about (without ever mentioning it)?

I don't think we want to do this in general. Please make this code conditional.

I met with this problem on PowerQuicc II Pro in bootm command. Disabling icache before call kernel solved my problem. I suppose the same problem can be in bootelf command.
