Re: [PATCH] [PowerPC] MPC8272ADS: fix device tree for 8 MB flash, size

From: Heiko Schocher <hidden>

Hello Wolfgang,
The current device tree for the MPC8272ADS assumes a mapping of 32 MB
of NOR flash at 0xFE00.0000, while there are actually only 8 MB on
the boards, mapped at 0xFF80.0000. When booting an uImage with such a
device tree, the kernel crashes because 0xFE00.0000 is not mapped.
Wouldn;t it be better, if u-boot fixes the device tree entries?
I think, u-boot should know, where the flash begins and ends, and
because this is maybe a dynamic variable for this board, it should
be better, if u-boot fixes this, so no need for adding a device tree
for every board variant.

bye
Heiko
