[U-Boot] bug when using environment in an i2c eeprom and SPI is enabled?

Hello Wolfgang,

I actually try to use Environment on an I2C EEprom with SPI enabled,
and found in include/common.h the following defines @line 326ff:

/*
 * Set this up regardless of board
 * type, to prevent errors.
 */
#if defined(CONFIG_SPI) || !defined(CONFIG_SYS_I2C_EEPROM_ADDR)
# define CONFIG_SYS_DEF_EEPROM_ADDR 0
#else
# define CONFIG_SYS_DEF_EEPROM_ADDR CONFIG_SYS_I2C_EEPROM_ADDR
#endif /* CONFIG_SPI || !defined(CONFIG_SYS_I2C_EEPROM_ADDR) */

So, it seems to me, that, if SPI is enabled, it is not possible
to use an I2C EEprom with an address != 0, because in
common/env_eeprom.c @line79 in env_init():

       /* read old CRC */a
        eeprom_read (CONFIG_SYS_DEF_EEPROM_ADDR,
                     CONFIG_ENV_OFFSET+offsetof(env_t,crc),
                     (uchar *)&crc, sizeof(ulong));

CONFIG_SYS_DEF_EEPROM_ADDR is fix used ...

I tried to use "git blame" to find out where this comes from,
but this is in code since the "initial revision" ... so I ask
here on the mailinglist, if somebody knows, if this is a
feature or a bug?

BTW, I think it should be:

diff --git a/include/common.h b/include/common.h
index 9e4b859..411563b 100644
--- a/include/common.h
+++ b/include/common.h
@@ -327,7 +327,7 @@ extern void  pic_write (uchar reg, uchar val);
  * Set this up regardless of board
  * type, to prevent errors.
  */
-#if defined(CONFIG_SPI) || !defined(CONFIG_SYS_I2C_EEPROM_ADDR)
+#if defined(CONFIG_SPI) && !defined(CONFIG_SYS_I2C_EEPROM_ADDR)
 # define CONFIG_SYS_DEF_EEPROM_ADDR 0
 #else
 # define CONFIG_SYS_DEF_EEPROM_ADDR CONFIG_SYS_I2C_EEPROM_ADDR

What do you think?

thanks
Heiko
