[U-Boot] PPC4xx: usbdev.c used at all?
Hi Marri,
I just "touched" the file "arch/powerpc/cpu/ppc4xx/usbdev.c" again to remove some GCC 4.6 compiler warnings. While doing this I wondered (again) if anybody is using this "driver" at all. I definitely never did. And I'm wondering if this code is useful at all.
So Marri (or anybody else): Do you need this driver in U-Boot?
If not, I'll just remove it in a short while.
Thanks.
Best regards, Stefan

This code is used when usb device is used as boot medium for Linux. Let me check what are the errors you are seeing. Thanks, Marri

Yes, please explain in more detail what exactly you mean with "boot medium for Linux". How does this work?
