Subject: Re: [PATCH v2 1/4] ODROID-X: dts: Add board dts file for ODROID-X

Hi Kukjin,

Thank you for your review.

I was confused a little bit about bootargs what is better removing or
including it in the board file, obviously I saw error message failing
mount the root file system if I remove bootargs from board file and
with default bootargs from u-boot.

What I thought is passing bootargs from boot-loader would be better to
give more options like boot device and partition setup to the
developers. If board file has fixed bootargs, then DTS file has to be
updated whenever boot partition is changed or arguments need to be
changed. And bootargs and other boot configuration could be set up
from u-boot itself with certain script as well, I believe that this is
much easier and comfortable rather than changing DTS file. We also can
start the hardware with initramfs with default bootargs like
"boot=/dev/ram0 rw ramdisk=8192..." and mount the expected boot
partition for rootfs, anyhow real boot media has to be specified in
bootargs as well.

Thanks and any advice will be welcomed a lot.

Best regrds,
Dongjin.
