Dear Jorgen Lundman,
Technically, U-Boot is GPLv2+ so GPLv2 only code _may_ not be accepted That is for Wolfgang to decide, but you have been warned :)
Naturally, he is king after all. There will be a thousand reasons to reject it, but hopefully not due to license.
I wonder ... Germany never was a kingdom, or am I wrong? :-) So maybe emperor* might be more fitting (it was empire I think)?
I based my GITHUB after the CuBox fork of u-boot. I will leave it up to those guys to submit their patches separately.
My fork of u-boot is here:
** https://github.com/lundman/u-boot
To see only the change set for adding ZFS:
** https://github.com/lundman/u-boot/compare/zfs
Since I merged in EXT4 patches to get a feel for u-boot, they are here:
** https://github.com/lundman/u-boot/compare/ext4
Only minor strings changes of "ext2" -> "ext4", otherwise the Samsung patch V4 posted in here.
Yay, so the ext4 works for you? Why wasn't ext4 merged? Can you post the reasoning (maybe links to gmane or something?)
Thanks!
Lund
