Dear Scott,

I agree that #ifdef's should be avoided, but then here they also serve
a documentation purpose as they clearly mark areas of code that are
specific to U-Boot, or that are not used in U-Boot.

Do you think just of a removal, so there will be no trace left of
which code was added for U-Boot, and which was removed? Or should
these be turned into comments, something like

	/* BEGIN U-Boot specific code */
	...
	/* END U-Boot specific code */

[but that would not handle code removal well].

So what exactly is your proposal how the #fdef's should be removed?

Best regards,

Wolfgang Denk
