Dear Nobuhiro Iwamatsu,

I am working supporting Renesas RMOBILE to U-Boot. Renesas's RMOBILE SoC family contains an ARM Cortex-A9, and this uses the same IP as SH. (For example, timer, ether, serial, etc.) I already sent to patches of rmobile, I got review from some developers. And the patch is managed by the arm/rmobile branch of u-boot-sh[0] which I have maintained, now. Since I had you take the patch of rmobile into an ARM repository, I consulted with Albert about the future development approach.
We thought two methods are considered. One is Albert picks up a patch from ML to ARM repository,
As this is ARM code, this appears the most natural approach to me.
Another is whether to have pull from the repository by having a repository for rmobile made.
If this is an ARM SoC, then it should go through the ARM repo - even if we should later decide that there is so much traffic that a separate rmobile repo would be sustified, thi would still be a sub-repo, which Albert would pull from.
Another option, which Mike is using for, iirc, sf and blackfin, is just to add rmobile-master / rmobile-next as branches to the u-boot-sh repository.
