[U-Boot] [RFC][PATCH 01/15] Update linux bootm to support ePAPR client interface

Kumar Gala galak at kernel.crashing.org
Tue Aug 12 23:17:23 CEST 2008


the ePAPR spec has some subtle differences from the current device tree
based boot interface to the powerpc linux kernel.  The powerpc linux kernel
currently ignores the differences that ePAPR specifies.
