[U-Boot] [PATCH v2 2/5] bootm: Disable interrupts only when loading

Simon Glass sjg at chromium.org
Thu Jul 4 22:26:08 CEST 2013


With the move of the interrupt code to earlier in the sequence, we
exposed a problem where the interrupts are disabled at each bootm
stage. This is not correct - it should be done only once. Let's disable
interrupts in the LOAD stage. Put the code in a function for clarity.

Also, bootz lost its interrupt code altogether, so reinstate it.
