[U-Boot-Users] Problem with cache diag on sequoia board in PPC4xx branch for-1.3.2

Hi Stefan,
In testing my merge of Korat PPC440EPx board support into PPC4xx branch "for-1.3.2", I found problem with the "DIAG RUN CACHE" command. The same problem occurs in the latest for-1.3.2 code for sequoia. Here is a copy of the console output showing what happens:

This problem does not occur on sequoia using the latest mainline (i.e., master branch) code from the PPC4xx repository.
Just thought you'd like to know. :-)
Best regards, Larry

Thanks for reporting. I'll try to take a look at it in the next days. But I have no problems at all, if you provide a patch to fix it. ;)

OK, I found the problem and fixed in the for-1.3.2 branch:

ppc4xx: Fix problem in 44x cache POST routine
As repoted by Larry Johnson, running "diag run cache" caused a crash in U-Boot. This problem was introduced by a patch that removed the TLB entry for the cache test after the test has completed. Since this TLB was only setup once, a 2nd attempt to run this cache test failed with a crash. Now this TLB entry is created every time the routine is called.

This fixes the problem on Korat as well. Thanks!
