What I would have done here is dump the registers for the CPU after
U-Boot initialized them, and diff them against a dump after my
bootloader had started Linux.
But isn't the case that the Openmoko patches got you over this hump, not
U-Boot in this case, or did I misunderstand?
In terms of VFAT support (but not SD Card, I found out the hard way
there is no real support for it in U-Boot and you have to do the
protocol in your driver) it's GPL so we will rip it from U-Boot, along
with any CPU init that might come in the form of U-Boot support, and
adapt the Linux SD driver. So we will have any value that U-Boot has
for our scenario without worry we missed something.
