Hi all,
As the merge window has closed, I'd just like to bump my old mail
below and ask for comments. Currently the actual register to use is
hard-coded. I'm unsure of what the current status is when it comes to
include new architecture specific CONFIG_*-options.
The bootcount-feature is supported in u-boot for some PPC-boards. The
patch below is basically a rip-off of one of these features, adapted
for the AT91SAM9-architecture. It is tested on an olimex board with an
at91sam9260.
I'd be very happy if we could get this feature mainlined. (I've also
got some replies off-list, from people wanting to use this feature.)
Thanks in advance!
Best regards,
Anders
