Please note that it is NOT sufficient to build just two board, and
then even both of the same architecture!! Please re-read Note # 3 at
http://www.denx.de/wiki/U-Boot/Patches - it means you should build
_all_ board in at least two different architectures.

I believed you, twice.  You didn't, twice.  And you failed, twice.

Now we get tons of warnings like this:

cfb_console.c:1497: warning: format '%s' expects type 'char *', but argument 3 has type 'const char (*)[]'



Please fix!

[Note: your patch is in mainline, so we need an incremental fix.]


Best regards,

Wolfgang Denk
