[PATCH 3/4] kexec/uImage: Recognize uImage RAM Disks

Suzuki K. Poulose suzuki at in.ibm.com
Wed Mar 6 03:40:33 EST 2013


From: Suzuki K. Poulose <suzuki at in.ibm.com>

Add IH_TYPE_RAMDISK as a recognized image type.

uImage_load shouldn't decompress the RAMDISK type images, since
uboot doesn't do it.
