on current project, someone handed me a patch containing (among other thigns) source and header files for support for SATA SIL3512 -- copyright shows they're under GPL. rather than carrying around that part of the patch, is it worth simply handing that over to u-boot to add under drivers/block/?

Yes, feel free to submit it, but please make sure there is an user for this driver as well.

well, the contract i'm working on will be using it for porting linux to a *lot* of older platforms so, technically, i'm that user. :-)
