I'll hold off reverting the relevant parts of the patch (i.e. return bits

Jonathan,
do you think you need much longer to make a decision as to whether this patch
should be reverted or not?
I think it should be reverted, but I don't have time right this second to
do it, sorry. (Hard disk failure, and some deadlines are a lot tighter).
Of course if you wanted to submit the patch yourself, that would be fine
too; but otherwise it's likely to be next week for me.
As I wrote earlier, I have a couple of platform
HAL packages that would need to be adopted if this change were to stay, but
of course I do not want to do that if things are likely to be changed back
later. But if I dont, I cannot update my repository.
FWIW, I agree with you that most of the cdl options in question should be in
the platfrom HAl for maximum flexibility. The platform HAL packages I am
maintaining are not exactly like one of the evaluation boards. Some of them
have additional I/O channels besides the two serial ports, and they do in
fact use a special startup mode, which is a variant of the ROMRAM mode that
leaves .rodata in rom.
Yep, that justifies the reasoning :).
