From 5519912164698b634893913b4408fee736d01d06 Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: Simon Glass Date: Mon, 4 May 2015 11:31:03 -0600 Subject: [PATCH] arm: Add a prototype for save_boot_params_ret() It is convenient for some boards to implement save_boot_params() in C rather than assembler. Provide a way to return in this case.
