[U-Boot-Users] 85xx sync to msync necessary?

[Kumar Gala]

Sam,

sync and msync end up being the exact same thing on e500.  Its better  
to leave the code in drivers and such to use sync since then it will  
build on non-e500 cores.  But all binutils should assemble sync and  
msync as the same instruction for e500.
