2008-08-05 Thread Kumar Gala
Can we drop any functionality from the current bootm?

For example does powerpc still need to support bd_t based booting?

Any? You mean:

int bootm (...)
{
return 0;
}

:-)

Yes, of course we need this. There is lots of systems out there that
use pre-DT kernels and still want recent versions of U-Boot for
various reasons.

Best regards,
