Dear all,
to my great detriment I've recently noticed, that Sunxi SPL NAND support I've been working very hard to upstream has been lately reverted. I was surprised, that nobody has acknowledged me about that.
Namely I'm talking about commit: da9971d1b3bdb554d4a4ac948119f8b2616bbcce
I guess it was an act of my dishonest ex-employer, with whom we have now legal issue about copyrights on above-mentioned driver. In January 2015 I was granted with the permission to upstream the code to Das U-Boot from my ex-employer and sent set of patches which I hadn't time to work with later (note the copyrights on nand driver):

After this job I have finally had time to finish this work (which is based on already published code from January 5th). It didn't took long, when Antmicro send me a legal paper with claims that I infract their copyrights – what isn't true. This dispute is still pending on the legal ground.
I have no words for such a meanness from my previous employer – to give permission to upstream code and then, for probably the some business reasons, deny their own words. This is really tawdry.
Best regards, Daniel Kochmański
