I never minded it in practice, because it's only there the very first time. The problem is with emulated targets, where you see it every time and sometimes from people who don't know it's expected. I've tested this with cfi-flash and mtd-ram in QEMU and TinyEMU and there I read zeroes, so that's what's addressed. If you think it's worthwhile to do it for crc == ~0 as well, feel free to fix up on apply. :-) Cheers, Ahmad > > Sascha > -- Pengutronix e.K. | | Steuerwalder Str. 21 | http://www.pengutronix.de/ | 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
