The following changes since commit db67801bf92f7fae6131dbc0d387131698fb9490: Merge branch 'master' of git://git.denx.de/u-boot-nand-flash (2014-10-10

are available in the git repository at: git://git.denx.de/u-boot-socfpga.git topic/arm/socfpga-20141010
In the U-Boot process, PRs are done from a master branch to a master branch.
There are exceptions of course, for instance when a repo collects patches for more than one architecture, as does u-boot-sh; it has a master branch for its SH stuff, and a 'rmobile' branch for its ARM stuff.
But here, the branch is topical. This is very unusual and only happened, AFAIR, in very few cases of big changes across all arches, where by agreement the patch series was directly maintained as a branch.
Will u-boot-socfpga keep on using this branch system, or will it in the future converge toward the U-Boot master+next branch system?
Yes, the next MW will be taking the standard course through master+next combo.
Best regards, Marek Vasut
