Yes, we could, but U-Boot size is continuously growing, even for constant configurations, i. e. when no nmew features are wanted/needed. > I added octal as an RFC since the current impl is almost never > available (only when 0 is parted to simple_strtoul()) which seems odd. I can't see how this should work... > Well, yes. Perhaps we should just drop octal? Drop? AFAICT we never supported octal. Something like "md 040" will start dumping at 0x00000040, right?
