As to the 8bit to 16 access change, at both the boot and kernel I use 16 bit accesses. I'm ok using 8bit access on my board, but based on comments in code and the ifdef's in the shipping kernel code, switching that access size will break a few boards. As word access works, I wouldn't switch that bit.
As far as testing goes, if it works on my board I'm usually happy. My opinion would be if you are submitting new code, it doesn't really matter if it works for anyone else as long as it doesn't break the compile. If its existing code, then some more care is obviously necessary.
From a group submission aspect, Wolfgang does a good job of filtering and
moderating, and likely applies similar logic for submission. He is probably is a bit more stringent in certain areas as the code would become more difficult to maintain with out some control.
Regards,
Richard W.

I'm curious about it. When your test phase / cross check
has success
what is the next step to put in this patch into U-Boot CVS
repository? I need a time

Please allow for a couple of days - Richard needs some time for testing, and I won;t find time to check anything in before Thursday anyway. If by then nobody complained I will check in your patches - thanks for it.
Best regards,
Wolfgang Denk
