preloader_console_init()

Hi Aneesh,

I'am nearly done with OMAP3 - I think I can release the patch today.

I have just one problem left:
You implemented preloader_console_init() in omap-common to call setup_clocks_for_console(). This is a OMAP4 specific call - OMAP3 only has per_clocks_init() - which inits a bunch of clocks.

Can you change the preloader_console_init()-function that it requires that the UART already has a clock and move your setup_clocks_for_console() out of the function?

Regards & Thanks
Simon

Hi Simon,

Sorry. I was on a short travel and didn't have mail access for a couple of days.

The idea was to enable the console at the earliest, even before prcm_init(). If OMAP3 doesn't need this I would suggest moving setup_clocks_for_console() call to s_init() in omap4/board.c

BTW, how did you fix this in your patches fianlly?

Aneesh

Hi Aneesh,

No problem, hope it was great!

So I think it is best to move it to s_init like you said.

For now I don't plan to add this to OMAP3. If we move it to s_init the dev can decide to do early clock init or not.

#ifndef CONFIG_OMAP34XX
         setup_clocks_for_console();

#endif

To be able to post the patch.

Regards
Simon
