If Linus merges this patch, we should probably start the transition in the bootloaders, QEMU, and user tools as quickly as possible. Probably the key element in the timeline is when we remove support for the old 64-bit magic number location in the kernel. I'm told that U-Boot and QEMU have already issued releases with support for the v0.1 image header format, so dropping the old magic number from the kernel is probably at least a few years away. (This is to increase the likelihood that anyone using the old software has had the chance to update them.) > I was planning to send a U-boot header documentation patch to match > Linux one anyways. Do you want me that to rebase based on this patch or > are you planning to send a U-boot patch as well ? Once v5.3 comes out, please go ahead. - Paul _______________________________________________ linux-riscv mailing list linux-riscv@lists.infradead.org http://lists.infradead.org/mailman/listinfo/linux-riscv
