Dear Vipin KUMAR,

Now, we want to support this in sw in such a way that we have a single
image for linux for all possible configurations. We intend to do this
though bootloader (u-boot in this case)
This may be possible, but it is not wise, nor the officially supported
mode of operation in U-Boot. Please see bullet 2 at
http://www.denx.de/wiki/U-Boot/DesignPrinciples#KeepFast and related
entries - U-Boot is not supposed to initialize things it does not need
for it's own operation.
SPEAr has an arm platform and linux-arm doesn't seem to support peripheral
multiplexing in the way we want. Though, I could see some stuff fo that
kind in ppc platform supported by u-boot to pass device information to
linux
We use the device tree to do things like this.
Do we have a similar way for arm based platforms as well or any other
suggestions.
Please check out Grant Likely's work to bring the device tree to ARM
Linux.
Best regards,
Wolfgang Denk
