a question about adding panda ES support before i get rolling

[Robert P. J. Day]

  a preliminary question to make sure i'm on the right track in terms
of adding panda ES support.  i have a couple panda boards -- an
earlier EA3 revision (OMAP 4430), and a panda ES (OMAP 4460).

  using a regular panda config and build, i can boot the earlier
board:

barebox 2012.02.0-00090-g675502d-dirty (Feb  8 2012 - 17:03:18)

Board: Texas Instrument's Panda
PandaBoard Revision: 003
ehci at ehci0: USB EHCI 1.00
Malloc space: 0x8d000000 -> 0x8effffff (size 32 MB)
Stack space : 0x8cff8000 -> 0x8d000000 (size 32 kB)
Open /boot/bareboxenv No such file or directory
no valid environment found on /boot/bareboxenv. Using default
environment
running /env/bin/init...

so that's a good sign.  and the Revision number of 3 matches what i
see here:

http://omappedia.org/wiki/PandaBoard_Revisions#PandaBoard_Revision_History

so far, so good.

  now if i use precisely the same files for my ES, i get absolutely no
output.  none.  but that's not surprising since in the omap4_generic.c
file, i read:

unsigned int omap4_revision(void)
{
        unsigned int chip_rev = 0;
        unsigned int rev = cortex_a9_rev();

        switch(rev) {
        case 0x410FC091:
                return OMAP4430_ES1_0;
        case 0x411FC092:
                chip_rev = (readl(OMAP44XX_CTRL_BASE + 0x204)  >> 28) & 0xF;
                if (chip_rev == 3)
                        return OMAP4430_ES2_1;
                else if (chip_rev >= 4)
                        return OMAP4430_ES2_2;
                else
                        return OMAP4430_ES2_0;
        }
        return OMAP4430_SILICON_ID_INVALID;
}

i'm assuming the fact there is *no* checking for an OMAP4460 is the
reason i get nothing, is that a reasonable assumption?  i'll post more
detail later about what i'm going to try but given that the above
function does not take into account the OMAP4460-based ES boards,
would that cause a complete lack of output at boot time?  thanks.
