I didn't say mandatory. I said "would be nice". > I'd expect bugfixes to be taken in to actually fix bugs and not kept out > of the tree because the submitter didn't also do another random chore. In this case the lack of documentation feels related to the cause of the bug -- no authoritative place to say what the proper name is. I don't see it as "another random chore". > Also, I do not know what else should I say besides that the symbol name > is incorrect and you can clearly see it. If that is not enough ... The names don't match. That's a bug. I was wondering whether the right thing was to remove SYS in one place or add it in the other (or have we given up on maintaining the distinction?). I didn't expect asking that question to be a huge burden on the patch's progress. It was also bundled up in a patchset with a bunch of non-bugfixes, so it didn't seem like you were asking for urgent handling of this one. > > In any case, I don't know why you're asking me to apply a patch with an > > "arm:" subject line, which only touches ARM board config files, instead > > of asking an ARM custodian. > > You were the only one who responded, And look at what I get for doing so. :-) > but I'm fine if Tom or whoever picks this. While I would have liked an answer to the questions I asked, it's not worth arguing over, so: Acked-by: Scott Wood <scottw...@freescale.com> -Scott _______________________________________________ U-Boot mailing list U-Boot@lists.denx.de http://lists.denx.de/mailman/listinfo/u-boot
