For CDROMs.) As Alex mentioned, this is needed for some installer images, which come as ISOs.

But let me test tonight if there are any side effects. Some of them seem useful, but I would leave enabling them to the actual users. If someone needs it, they can enable them and loose the raw MMC environment. I think this is a fair trade-off. > Removing those options make the u-boot.itb binary size going from > 516kB to 478kB, making it functional again *and* allowing us to enable > the DT overlays that seem way more important than any feature > mentionned above (and bumps the size to 483kB). How important is the raw MMC environment for the ARM64 boards, actually? Most of the rationale for the 32-bit side seemed to apply to legacy use cases only. Do we have reports/complaints from 64-bit users? Cheers, Andre. _______________________________________________ U-Boot mailing list U-Boot@lists.denx.de https://lists.denx.de/listinfo/u-boot
