How would that reduce the size of the code? > I do have some test and I've gain between 2KiB and more than 10KiB > by using this And, does it still work on all boards? > so yes I think it's great winn I think you don't understand the complexity yet. One problem we have to solve is to make sure we have a very specific sequence in which the init routines are run. The original idea of the code was that you can #define the init_sequence[] table in an architecture and/or board config file; it's just that nobody implemented that yet. If you changed the code in this direction, then this might actually make sense. The Linux way of doing initcalls is useless for U-Boot, as it addres- ses a completely different problem and is based on a completely different memory management model.
