Iyappan will follow up if required. But I notice that you are using 1.13.xx boot loader. The latest official released boot loader version is 1.15.23 (from late 2015). I would suggest and recommend that you upgrade if possible. -Loc -- To unsubscribe from this list: send the line "unsubscribe devicetree" in the body of a message to majordomo@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxx More majordomo info at http://vger.kernel.org/majordomo-info.html
