[U-Boot] [RFC][PATCH] Replace clunky init sequence architecture

Thu Aug 18 14:34:22 CEST 2011


NOTE: This is an x86 only patch - I didn't include x86 in the patch heading
because it is a proof of concept for a global patch - Sorry for the blatant
etiquette violation ;)

Replace the init_fnc_t *init_sequence[] style init sequence with one based
on the Linux __initcall macros.

Functions are declared as initialisation functions by using the new
INIT_FUNC() macro. The three parameters to INIT_FUNC() are:
 - Type - f = pre-relocation (flash), r = post-relocation (RAM)
 - Sequence - Lower numbers are run first
 - Function - The function to call during the init sequence

 INIT_FUNC() creates a static variable which is a pointer to the init
 function to be called. Each variable is placed in a sub-section under
 the .initfuncs_f or .initfuncs_r sections. The sub-section name is the
 sequence number. There is no problem giving multiple functions the same
 sequence number, but the order of execution of functions with the same
 sequence number is undefined. The resulting raw image layout is a
 sequence of function pointers (much like how the command table is built)

 do_init_loop() simply takes a pointer to the start and end of either the
 initfuncs_f or initfuncs_r sections and sequentially dereferences the
 function pointer and calls the function.

 For a board to add an arbitrary initialisation function is trivial -
 simply add a INIT_FUNC() entry with an appropriate sequence number

 I imagine the sequence numbers could be #defined, but I don't exactly
 now what the linker will do - I use leading zeros in the sequence numbers
 to ensure correct ordering.

 This has been build and run-tested on my eNET board and works perfectly
 (after a few false starts)

 Enjoy :)
