Hi,

I am working adding support of parallel port of ST16C552 in u-boot but have some weird initialization problems.So I list my related programs and questions as follows for any further help.

***Problems*** 1. How come board_parallel_init became invalid when I put it in lib_ppc/board.c board_init_f() for debugging?

2. Why could I only get 0x00 or 0xff initialization results for the parallel port-PD0-PD7 when I changed par_port->pr1 in ns16552.c as different values like 0x55 or 0xAA?It seemed that the PR register only accpected 0x00 or 0xff as it's first value.But I could change it's value correctly by u-boot command.

3. What's meaning of "__attribute__ ((packed))" in NS16552 structure definition?I copyed it from ns16550.h but don't understand it's function.

***16C552 parallel port register content*** u-boot>md fa010000 fa010000: ff67e0e0 ff67e0e0 ff67e0e0 ff67e0e0 .g fa010010: ff67e0e0 ff67e0e0 ff67e0e0 ff67e0e0 .g u-boot>mm.b fa010000 fa010000: ff ? 55 fa010001: 67 ? 55 fa010002: e0 ? e4 fa010003: e4 ? e4 fa010004: 55 ? . u-boot>md fa010000 fa010000: 5567e4e4 5567e4e4 5567e4e4 5567e4e4 Ug. fa010010: 5567e4e4 5567e4e4 5567e4e4 5567e4e4 Ug. u-boot>

When setting 'par_port->pr1 = 0xAA' ,it displayed: fa010000: ff67e0e0 ff67e0e0 ff67e0e0 ff67e0e0

Sorry for disturbing your nice weekend by many questions!Thanks in advance!
