From: Zhong Hongbo <bocui107@gmail.com>

In currently, when __bss_start is equal to __bss_end__,
The bss loop will clear all the things in memory space.

But just only when __bss_end__ greater than __bss_start__,
we do the clear bss section operation.

Some more formal things ...

This is the third version of this type of patch. Therefore it should
have a version history here and some version information in the subject
([PATCH v3] maybe). Please read http://www.denx.de/wiki/view/U-Boot/Patches
especially
http://www.denx.de/wiki/view/U-Boot/Patches#Sending_updated_patch_versions

BTW: The content looks sane.

Best regards

Thanks, I just see the format of patch. I will add the version

After sending I doubt my statement was correct, but I found a source

a last formal thing to mention: The subject should (now) say 'arm: ...'
not 'armv7: ...'.

It could be said of any reviewer that they are "involved in the
development of the patch", yet not all reviewers's Signed-off-by is
added to evey patch they review. There is a Reviewed-by tag for
reviewers.

I personally do not consider it would make sense to have my
Signed-off-by on this patch.

Amicalement,

    Hi Andreas,

    How I do it? Signed-off-by or Reviewed-by?


you do not need to put these lines in at all, the reviewer will reply
your mail with the correct line (Acked-by, Reviewed-by, Tested-by) in
it. A tool called patchwork will then provide some convenience for the
custodians. He just pulls the mbox file from patchwork which has all the
collected lines in it. The resulting commit in the custodian repository
will contain all these linesgathered while in review process.
You ought to put some other people on cc so they can review the patch.
This can easily achieved by putting a 'cc: <some email>' into the patch.
Git will then put these addresses on cc automagicly.

Best regards

Andreas Bießmann
