Hello, I'm assuming the merge window has been closed based on http://www.denx.de/wiki/U-Boot/ReleaseCycle and the fact that v2008.10-rc1 has been tagged.
Does U-Boot accept new drivers/board support patches (ie new features which can't regress) outside of merge windows, or only bug fixes?
My understanding for the Linux kernel is that self-contained drivers/features are sometimes accepted after the merge window as they shouldn't cause the kernel to regress as no "old" code is using them.
I have patches for a new MPC8572-based board and was wondering if I should go ahead and send them out now, or wait until the next release in ~a month. I see other non-bugfix patches still being sent to the mailing list which gave me a glimmer of hope of getting the changes in the upcoming 2008.10 release:)
Thanks for any insight, Peter
