Perhaps do the exe by default but provide a way to ask not to?

It's be nice if it either a) started working again, b) said something when it wasn't supposed to work and pointed in the right direction or c) went away so it stops being confusingly tempting to people like me ;-) a) was what I was thinking of when I wrote the last bit of http://lists.denx.de/pipermail/u-boot/2015-June/217743.html (which I've still not gotten around to) Ian. -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "linux-sunxi" group.
