Then how do we kno if this is just an anticipated or a real problem? > Loading of the splash screen has been a part of the U-Boot boot > sequence for ages, so the test of the feature is roughly just place > the bmp image in the right place on the storage device, set the > splashimage variable and reset the board. Maybe I'm so weird then - I think I have never blindly installed a splash screen without checking before that it actually works and looks good, using the "bmp" command... > Can you propose a feasible (yet not too expensive and not out of > mainline tree) solution? Well, if I understand the situation correctly, the problem we have is that the bitmap address for the splash screen should be aligned to an even 32 bit boundary + 1. The address is stored in an environment variable. So why don't we implement a callback on that variable that checks itd's value when it gets set? We have all the features in place now; and we can even overwrite such a default setting on boards where it's not needed / wanted. So my recommendation is: add a new alignment-checking extension as a callback to the variable handling code.
