Hi everybody, the Embedded Planet boards boot loader pass a string containing key/value pairs to the Linux loader code. That string is parsed in arch/ppc/simple/embed_boot.c.
The current implementation duplicates the parsing code once for each supported board. As I'm adding support for a new EP board (EP8248), I was wondering if it would be worth merging all those parsers together. This would reduce the source code size, but would be pointless at runtime as only one board support code is compiled in the kernel anyway. Should I submit a patch, or leave the code as it is ?
