Subject: [PATCH] dtc: give advance warning that "-S" is going away.
Date: Wed, 30 Jul 2008 09:59:16 -0400	[thread overview]
Message-ID: <1217426356-1248-1-git-send-email-paul.gortmaker@windriver.com> (raw)
In-Reply-To: <E1KOBwm-0002vc-CT@jdl.com>

The "-S" option allowed the specification of a minimum size for
the blob, however the main reason for caring about the size is
so there is enough padding to add a chosen node by u-boot or
whoever.  In which case, folks don't really care about the absolute
size, but rather the size of the padding added for this -- which
is what the "-p" option does.  Having the "-S" just confuses people.
