Dear Sateesh,

I am satheesh from LG Software development center, India. We at LGSI are doing a project as a part of the uCLinux support for Blackfin 533/2/1 series processors from Analog Devices. We have ported the u-boot1.1.1 for ADI's Blackfin BF533 processor, for the serial boot and network boot features.

We are sending the sample patch (which will be refined later-additionally having flash boot and other boot options) for your reference and suggestions so that it can be merged with mainline in due course with suitable modifications.

I'm sorry, but I have to reject this patch.

First, there are numberless violations of the Coding Style as specified in the README. Please cleanup before resubmitting.

Second, there are a couple or more serious issues:

common/cmd_flash.c: common/flash.c:

Don't add board specific code to this file.

If you need special settings, then take care of this in your board specific flash driver.

drivers/smc91111.c:

Don't add board specific code to this file.

If delays are needed, use udelay() etc.

Don't add debugging code which effects ALL boards.

include/linux/byteorder/swab.h:

Why do you think you need this modification? And are you sure it will not affect other boards?

include/linux/linkage.h:

Why do you think you need this file?

lib_arm/board.c:

I see no reason for the additional include ?

MAKEALL:

YOU MUST NOT DELETE STUFF THAT DOESN'T BELONG TO YOU! Don't mess with things that are global!

Makefile:

What is u-boot.dxe and how is it being built?

Copying a file to "/home/vidya/u-boot.dxe" is obviously not acceptable for public code.

Best regards,

Wolfgang Denk
