This matched my experience as well.
Does anyone know why U-Boot 1.1.1 from Freescale uses a different BCSR
address than U-Boot 1.1.1 from Sourceforge?
Any opinions on which address is the "correct" one to use? Kumar asked
for a patch to fix this, so what do we think the correct fix is?
Thanks!
Walt
