Cover letter [U-Boot] [RFC PATCH 0/17] Version 0 of Kconfig for U-Boot

Dear Masahiro,

Quoted 8 lines · In message <[email protected]> you wrote:

You are suggesting a better idea below.
We should not treat SPL as a special case.

In my opinion, CONFIG_SPL_* should be discontinued.

For example, we can merge CONFIG_SPL_TEXT_BASE
to CONFIG_SYS_TEXT_BASE.

Are you sure this is always possible?

Quoted 9 lines

#ifdef CONFIG_SPL_BUILD
# define CONFIG_SYS_TEXT_BASE 0x00000000
#else
# define CONFIG_SYS_TEXT_BASE 0x10000000
#endif

rather than
#define CONFIG_SPL_TEXT_BASE 0x00000000
#define CONFIG_SYS_TEXT_BASE 0x10000000

Are there really no cases where for example the SPL needs to know CONFIG_SYS_TEXT_BASE, for example when loading U-Boot to RAM? I think that the "normal" U-Boot does not need to know about the SPL, but is this also always true the other way round?

Best regards,

Wolfgang Denk
