[U-Boot] [PATCH v6] unify version_string

Andreas Bießmann andreas.devel at googlemail.com
Mon Jul 18 20:24:04 CEST 2011


This patch removes the architecture specific implementation of
version_string where possible. Some architectures use a special place
and therefore we provide U_BOOT_VERSION_STRING definition and a common
weak symbol version_string.

changes since v1:
 - remove (some) places of 'extern ... version_string' definition in favour of
   include version.h
 - use format-patch && send-email since some complained about base64 formated
   mail content

changes since v2:
 - add linker script solution for mpc512x powerpc devices
   (never compiled)

changes since v3:
 - use a common variable to join the parameters and leave the arch dependent
   parts as is

changes since v4:
 - address comments from mike
   * do not use const char * const
   * use weak symbol version_string, remove from architecture files
   * remove trailing semicolon

changes since v5:
  - remove RFC annotation
  - add ACK-by Mike Freysinger
