Unfortunately: this would effectively block me from improving the support for older davinci boards.Is there something blocking you from converting the board to device tree? This is something i did with a lot of the Marvell boards a few years ago. For a while, we had both DT and board setup files. After a couple of cycles, we killed off the setup files. AndrewActually some board are supported both in DT and board files (da850-evm) right now, but Sekhar wants to keep the support via board files in the kernel so that's a no go.
Its not that I want it that way, but we cannot get rid of board files till DT has equivalent support. The bigger issue is not on DA850, but on the 5 older DaVinci SoCs which do not support device-tree based boot today. Thanks, Sekhar
