It relates to the SMC which parameter RAM location is in conflict with the SPI/I2C parameter RAM, i. e. SMC1.
relocate SMC1 could also relocate SMC2 at the same time? the writeup
I think it makes little sense to speculate about this without knowing anything about how the microcode patch actually works.
isn't clear on this and, from what i've read, it might be useful to relocate SMC2 if one wants to use the reserved memory just before it for, say, ethernet on SCC4 (if that's even possible).
No, this is impossible as there is no SCC4 on a MPC823/850.
so, short question -- i know that patch supports relocating SMC1. does it also handle *both* SMC1 and SMC2? or, perhaps, SMC2 all by itself? there's nothing in the writeup i can see that clarified this.
It is not even mentioned, so assume it is NOT supported.
