[U-Boot] what does it mean when "SOBJS" refers to a C source file?
perusing the Makefiles, pretty straightforward but, on occasion, i run into something like this (from arch/arm/cpu/armv7/omap-common/Makefile):
... snip ... SOBJS := reset.o
COBJS := timer.o COBJS += utils.o ... snip ...
the thing is, all of the above are .c files, including reset.c. is there something deliberate about using SOBJS to refer to an object file whose source file isn't actually assembler? just curious.

It means commit d417d1db5f9092d125ddea882ced77eaa5f3d236 was not reviewed thoroughly enough. :)

i can submit a patch for that unless someone is all over that already. i assume the fix would simply involve assigning reset.o to COBJS (rather than SOBS) in the relevant Makefiles, yes?

Yes -- and checking that the resulting U-Boot still builds and works. :)
