If a platform goes from being able to boot without a DTB to requiring a DTB, we must continue to support booting on that platform in some manner otherwise it is a regression. And no, I don't term upgrading uboot as an acceptable regression fix. So if appended DTB doesn't work, that needs fixing before the non-DTB support for a platform is removed, otherwise we _will_ have a regression. -- To unsubscribe from this list: send the line "unsubscribe linux-omap" in the body of a message to [email protected] More majordomo info at http://vger.kernel.org/majordomo-info.html
