From fa34f6b25b3c92f27b245c52378a0d2af24aaa19 Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: Shawn Guo Date: Mon, 9 Jan 2012 21:54:08 +0000 Subject: [PATCH] common/image.c: align usage of fdt_high with initrd_high The commit message of a28afca (Add uboot "fdt_high" enviroment variable) states that fdt_high behaves similarly to the existing initrd_high. But fdt_high actually has an outstanding difference from initrd_high. The former specifies the start address, while the later specifies the end address. As fdt_high and initrd_high will likely be used together, it'd be nice to have them behave same. The patch changes the behavior of fdt_high to have it aligned with initrd_high. The document of fdt_high in README is updated with an example to demonstrate the usage of this environment variable.
