The code before this patch assigned the value of `boarddata` to `barebox_boarddata` unconditionally before it did any checks of the contents validity, so there were no real guarantees about barebox_arm_machine(). And we can add those checks to the code of barebox_arm_machine() and barebox_arm_boot_dtb() and restore the original semantics. > > Sascha > > -- > Pengutronix e.K. | | > Industrial Linux Solutions | http://www.pengutronix.de/ | > Peiner Str. 6-8, 31137 Hildesheim, Germany | Phone: +49-5121-206917-0 | > Amtsgericht Hildesheim, HRA 2686 | Fax: +49-5121-206917-5555 | _______________________________________________ barebox mailing list barebox@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx http://lists.infradead.org/mailman/listinfo/barebox
