[U-Boot-Users] Duplicate implementations of testdram() deprecated

[Wolfgang Denk]

Hello,

I just noticed that 84  boards  contain  some  function  "testdram()"
which  (and I guess few people are surprised) in 80+ cases is basicly
a verbatim copy of the same code.

Allt hese boards completely  ignore  that  we  already  have  several
implamentations  of  memory  test code both in the mtest command (see
"common/cmd_mem.c") and in the  POST  (see  "post/drivers/memory.c").
depending  on  requirements  these can be selected / configured to be
either faster or more thorough.


I hereby ask the maintainers of the  following  boards  to  clean  up
theirt  code  and  get  rid of the duplicated code. Please remove the
"testdram()" implementation (which is disabled in all  but  6  boards
anyway)  from  your code and use for example the respective POST code
instead:
