[U-Boot] Summary of my patches for v2010.12 merge window
Kumar,
Since the merge window for v2010.12 will be open soon, I want to make sure that all of my pending patches are included. Here's a list of all the U-Boot patches I've submitted that I think should be in your next pull request:
1. [v2] p1022ds: add audclk hwconfig setting to enable codec reference clock 2. fsl: verify writes to the MAC address EEPROM 3. always relocate fdt into an lmb-allocated memory block 4. logos: add Freescale logo 5. [v3] fsl: refactor MPC8610 and MPC5121 DIU code to use existing bitmap and logo features 6. p1022ds: add video support
Please note that Wolfgang has asked for someone else to test "always relocate fdt into an lmb-allocated memory block", but no one has done so yet, and you have no indicated that anyone will.
Also, this patch is not 85xx-specific, but should be included anyway. Wolfgang, please check to see if it's being handled by the proper maintainer:
1. video: cfb_console: add support for 4bpp bitmaps with GDF_32BIT_X888RGB
Thanks.

Patches 5 and 6 are video related (and eventually # 4 as well); they need to go through Anatolij.

Indeed this needs to be tested.

That's video related as well and I'm sure Anatolij will pick it up when time comes.
Best regards,

Per a conversation with Timur on linuxppc-dev, I have tested this patch on an MPC8349EMDS board. It caused no problems. In order to force the new code path to have an effect, I loaded my FIT image below CONFIG_SYS_BOOTMAPSZ. Here is the relevant output from both runs:
Vanilla U-Boot (FIT image loaded to 0xa00000 == 10MB): Verifying Hash Integrity ... crc32+ OK Booting using the fdt blob at 0xc6a278 Uncompressing Kernel Image ... OK Loading Ramdisk to 0fe9f000, end 0ff75699 ... OK
With Timur's patch: Verifying Hash Integrity ... crc32+ OK Booting using the fdt blob at 0xc42d6c Uncompressing Kernel Image ... OK Loading Ramdisk to 0fe9f000, end 0ff75699 ... OK Loading Device Tree to 00ff8000, end 00fff84f ... OK
You'll notice that Timur's patch now relocates the FDT, whereas vanilla U-Boot did not.
If I load my FIT image above CONFIG_SYS_BOOTMAPSZ, both U-Boots (with and without the patch) behave identically.
Hope it helps, Ira

This one is on my TODO list. Thanks.
