This patchset updates the SPEAr support in the u-boot. It contains various bugfixes and enhancements.
The patches have certain dependencies on the drivers, so should be applied once the driver patches are frozen. The various drivers on which these patches depend are:
- USB device controller:
http://thread.gmane.org/gmane.comp.boot-loaders.u-boot/125220/focus=126598 2. USB OTG: Patch (USB:gadget:designware USB OTG implementation) 3. ST_SMI: http://lists.denx.de/pipermail/u-boot/2012-February/118672.html 4. FSMC_NAND: http://patchwork.ozlabs.org/patch/143167/ 5. Designware ethernet controller: http://comments.gmane.org/gmane.comp.boot-loaders.u-boot/126029
In a subsequent patchset, more features shall be added along with cleanup of the directory structure.
Thanks for all this work.
We already talked about this off list. I think it makes much sense to install an SPEAr U-Boot custodian, to offload Albert a bit. As I understand there are more SPEAr patches to be seen soon. And I also have some waiting here (SPL support etc).
So who would be best suited to become SPEAr custodian? Amit, you yourself? Or Vipin Kumar, as he is currently listed as maintainer for the SPEAr eval boards?
Comments?
Today, the best candidate for SPEAr custodian is Vipin. He has great experience on SPEAr and has been working for past so many years. However, we need his consent before appointing him the custodian ;-)
Vipin, please share your opinion.
Thanks Amit Virdi
