Hi Kalle,

I am in Utrecht.

I have a quick DOR question for you.

What is the effect of issuing a softboot when softboot is already in progress?

More specifically,

1. Set DOMC(0..7)
2. Start waiting for DOMC(0..7) to clear (reset complete)
3. Set DOMC(0..7) again, prematurely
4. ???

I ask because Linux wants to restart the softboot operation in some cases and this is either easy or very complicated to handle depending on what happens if I set DOMC(0..7) again. Ideal case is if the second reset is simply ignored.

Cheers,
John
