Not me. It is Wolfgang that decides what is acceptable. I might have argued my position a bit more passionately in the past as well regarding some changes but I do not have any such decision making capability here.
I have interest in this peace of code because we use it and I have submitted some patches and studied the code probably a little more closely than others.
I am all for someone picking up all the pending patches and merging in. I wish I could do this but I really do not have time at this time. I guess this is true for most of us nowadays.
I am looking at "cfi_testing" branch proposal from Wolfgang as a medium to incorporate all the pending patches and resolve the merge conflicts between various patches before we can sync back to the mainline.
Since a lot of people are now dependent on these patches (as evidenced by frequency of questions regarding cfi_flash.c driver on the list) there is a lot of good to come if we merge these "somewhere" and after a testing period of say 1 month if everyone is happy (and especially Wolfgang) we can merge back to mainline hopefully before next release of U-Boot.
Wolfgang what do you think?
Best regards, Tolunay
