I have to apologize - I havent read much U-Boot traffic in the last
few weeks, and while trying to catch up, I don;t really have a full
overview of all postings. So I'm missing the context of what "this
series" and "this single part" means.
I think we should try and get to a state where we have AM35xx work,
with caches on (I understand this is possible with the current code
for AM35xx).
When we then have problems on DaVinci, that can be worked around by
running "dc off" before accessing the network (or USB), then this is
IMO a much better state than having DC permanently disable for all
these systems.
I don't know which patches have to be applied, or omitted, to acchive
this state, though.
Best regards,
Wolfgang Denk

I realize that command does have its fascination, even under circum-
stances such as these, but I neither enjoy the idea of command nor am
I frightened of it. It simply exists, and I will do whatever logi-
cally needs to be done.
