OK good. > * By adding this check we can cheap and easily minimize problems in JTAG > case. Prior to your patch this register was irrelevant - it didn't matter for jtag or uboot cause what its value was since it was not being checked at all. Now you enforce this be 0. Simple reasoning tells me it will likely cause problems, if any, but won't reduce them at all. So I'd insist we keep ignoring it even if uboot was zeroing it out. Atleast this leaves the door open any future changes. _______________________________________________ linux-snps-arc mailing list linux-snps-arc@lists.infradead.org http://lists.infradead.org/mailman/listinfo/linux-snps-arc
