[U-Boot] [MPC83xx] broken patch "do not fixup NULL ptrs" ?

[André Schwarz]

Joakim,


your commit d1e0b10accdbac2e0a8b2cbf7c589645442f87c5 renders my MPC8377
based board unbootable.


Two weeks ago I got this after power on : 


U-Boot 2010.09-00486-gfda6278-dirty (Oct 22 2010 - 16:19:20) MPC83XX

Reset Status:

CPU:   e300c4, MPC8377, Rev: 2.1 at 533.333 MHz, CSB: 266.667 MHz
Board: Matrix Vision MergerBox
....



After rebasing my work to current master completely silences the serial
line and the CPU doesn't come up. Bisection leads to your patch.

reverting it makes the board work again.

Any ideas ?


BTW:
 - I'm using ELDK-4.2 toolchain.
 - mvBLM7 (=MPC8343 based) works fine.



Regards,
André
