Please define "increase the boot time" with the context to the patch
where you think the increase of boot time will be? In my experience, it
has not. the iterations are such that:
while (condition_not_met)
udelay(10);
This is reasonable enough to wait till the condition is met.
a) u-boot boot logic is not invoked until "mmc part 0" is invoked ->
u-boot boot time does not change
b) the actual fatload by itself will only incur minor latency addition -
IMHO - necessary addition - in cases where the check conditions are not met.
would be great if you can illustrate within the patch areas which need
continuous checks Vs the ones that do not need continuous checks.
