Hi Marek,
Can I get you to do this again? I'd the symbol for MACH_MX6Q_SABRELITE.
Thanks Troy

No, can you please submit the mach-types update yourself? Thank you!

I don't think I'm trusted to do that. I think that some machines may have been removed from Linux that u-boot may want to keep. Since I only want to use the value in 1 place, is it acceptable to just use the hex value instead?
Thanks Troy

So these machines have to define their mach id in their config (and you need to fix them after replacing mach-types).

No, either update the mach types (preffered) or ... Update the mach types ;)
Thanks in advance. M

It was discussed and accepted that the boards can set CONFIG_MACH_TYPE directly into the configuration file. In this way, we continue to support in U-Boot boards independently if they are pushed to Linux mainline or not.
On the other side, everybody can send the current mach-types from the Linux kernel to Albert (ARM Maintainer) - if a board is already in kernel mainline is the preferred way.

Thanks for the information. I'll send to Albert soon.

Just out of curiosity: Why do you need that?
It was my understanding that with recent U-Boot and Kernel on SabreLite DeviceTree is the way to go? And this doesn't need the mach-types any more?
Best regards

Maybe Troy wants to also allow U-boot to load a non-DT kernel, such as the one provided by Freescale?

That's exactly right. With the addition of a couple of small things:
- machid - revision tag (used by Freescale's kernel)
we can start shipping main-line U-Boot with Sabre Lite.
This seems like a worthwhile step, especially for those of us switching between kernels.
