That was my thought. If it were important enough to keep in *this* source base, someone would have submitted some board that uses it. It's badly enough broken that I don't know who would bother using it, though; anyone trying to use it has some kind of (non-Linux?) support nightmare already. > no necessarelly the boards Maintainer choose to use the other ECC but part > of the U-Boot user may need it. > So add it in the removal schedule make sense.

I can't figure out who *does* use it, either... - Dave _______________________________________________ Davinci-linux-open-source mailing list [email protected] http://linux.davincidsp.com/mailman/listinfo/davinci-linux-open-source
