Some comments on the patch:
It would be good if the error handling was cleaned up a bit.
1. Propagate the retval unchange, unless there is a reason not to.
In that case it merits a comment as to why.
retval = foo();
if (retval != ERROR_OK)
{
// do not modify the value when propagating it.
return retval;
// return ERROR_FAIL; // WRONG! (or merits a comment) do not modify
value when propagating
}
2. Use LOG_ERROR() at the site where the error occurs. E.g. not
LOG_USER("Error:"..), but LOG_ERROR("could not xxxx"). You can
also use LOG_ERROR() to elaborate on an error you're propagating to
add a bit of context.
3. Check and propagate error values, e.g. dsp5680xx_ram_to_rom_block()
is missing checks.
4. Perhaps some of the fn's should return void(i.e. can't fail). E.g. queuing
commands to the jtag interface can't fail.
