[RFC] arch/ppc/boot/simple/embed_boot.c : Merging all keyvals parsing code

[Laurent Pinchart]

Hi everybody,

the Embedded Planet boards boot loader pass a string containing key/value 
pairs to the Linux loader code. That string is parsed in 
arch/ppc/simple/embed_boot.c.

The current implementation duplicates the parsing code once for each supported 
board. As I'm adding support for a new EP board (EP8248), I was wondering if 
it would be worth merging all those parsers together. This would reduce the 
source code size, but would be pointless at runtime as only one board support 
code is compiled in the kernel anyway.

Should I submit a patch, or leave the code as it is ?
