[U-Boot] default load addresses

[Wolfgang Denk]

Dear "David Collier",

CFG_LOAD_ADDR has long been obsoleted. It's CONFIG_SYS_LOAD_ADDR now.

Yes, it does. Or what do you think this code from "common/cmd_ext2.c"
is doing?

126 int do_ext2load (cmd_tbl_t *cmdtp, int flag, int argc, char *argv[])
127 {
...
140         case 3:
141                 addr_str = getenv("loadaddr");
142                 if (addr_str != NULL)
143                         addr = simple_strtoul (addr_str, NULL, 16);
144                 else
145                         addr = CONFIG_SYS_LOAD_ADDR;
146
147                 filename = getenv ("bootfile");
148                 count = 0;
149                 break;

?

People just complaining and not submitting patches?

Best regards,
