[U-Boot] [RFC][PATCH 07/21] [x86] Split sc520 memory sizing versus reporting

Graeme Russ graeme.russ at gmail.com
Thu Mar 25 12:22:49 CET 2010


This patch allows the low-level assembler boot-strap to obtain the RAM
size without calling the destructive 'sizer' routine. This allows
boot-strapping from a U-Boot image loaded in RAM
