[U-Boot] [PATCH v4 7/7] MIPS: bootm: Add support for compatibility with redboot

Fri Dec 14 15:16:51 UTC 2018


The kernels built to be launch by redboot (such as the Vcore III) have
different expectation in the way the data were passed.

Unlike with yamon, the command line is expected to be a single string
passed in argv[1]. An other expectation is that the arguments are located
in the cached address space.

However, like yamon, they expect that rd_start and rd_size was passed by
the bootloader in the command line of the kernel.
