Dear Wolfgang Denk,
Regarding the following:
+#define ROUND(A, B) (((A) + (B)) & ~((B) - 1))
+/*
+ * Size of malloc() pool
+ */
+#define CFG_MALLOC_LEN ROUND(3 * CONFIG_ENV_SIZE + 128*1024, 0x1000)
I tried to include the common.h file in my configuration file but this
breaks u-boot compilation (it's
not safe to include common.h standalone) .I noticed that none of other
board configuration files
include common.h
If I replace the ROUND(A,B) macro with #define DIV_ROUND_UP(n,d) (((n)
+ (d) - 1) / (d))
macro when i try to make u-boot I obtain the following errors:
start.S: Assembler messages:
start.S:339: Error: invalid constant (802d) after fixup
It appears to me that the solution for the moment is to use the following fixed
macro:
define ROUND(A, B) (((A) + (B) -1) & ~((B) - 1))
Regarding the following:
>> +#ifdef CONFIG_RESET_PHY_R
>> +void reset_phy(void)
>> +{
>> +#ifdef CONFIG_MACB
>> + /*

I removed the reset_phy() function and I do not use anymore CONFIG_RESET_PHY_R.
I use setenv ethaddr to configure the MAC address of the Ethernet controller.
Is it ok to resend the patch with the above changes ?
Best regards,
