Dear Wolfgang Denk, Sandeep Paulraj and Albert Aribaud,
I'am working on the OMAP3 SPL which is part of my bachelor thesis. Some of the code was already posted - but i staled my work to wait for the new SPL layout and the work on OMAP4 by Aneeshi V.
This weekend Annesh V. released the OMAP4 patch and I now start to merge my OMAP3 patches with the common parts of Aneesh's patch.
I think I can release a patch until the end of the week. Is it possible to get the patch into the upcoming release?
You mean you can release a patch before the end of the week, right?
Personally, when a patch was initially submitted before the end of the merge window, I will accept subsequent versions of it and apply them even if they are submitted after the merge window has closed.
Only, be sure to follow *all* rules for submitting new versions of a patch set as laid out in http://www.denx.de/wiki/view/U-Boot/Patches#Sending_updated_patch_versions . Particularly:
- *always* provide history for *each* patch
- *always* provide history *below* the commit message delimiter ('---')
- *always* post version N of a patch "in-reply-to" version N-1.
- *never* post a patch set twice under the same version. Even if you forgot some trivial thing like signed-off-by, repost with a *bumped up* version number (and provide updated history)
Be warned that not respecting these rules will result in the patch set being NAKed (and, in turn, will force you to re-post a Vn+1 patch...)
I finish my BA thesis in September - mainlining the code before would be great.
Regards Simon
Amicalement,
