Yeah let's make sure no regressions are caused by this.. We also > still have the omap3 legacy booting around, have you checked that it > keeps on working? I don't have any omap3 board with legacy support with me. I have omap3-beagle but looks like legacy boot is dropped for it already. I'll try to revert the patch that drops beagle support and test it on that one. cheers, -roger -- To unsubscribe from this list: send the line "unsubscribe linux-omap" in the body of a message to majordomo@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxx More majordomo info at http://vger.kernel.org/majordomo-info.html
