I am also very interested in this. I have started hacking at supporting the Lyrtech SFF SDR board, and trying to do so in a way the patches can be accepted. (I am trying to figure out git and the coding standards).
My work is based of the TI work (I think, the patch came via the internet) and I have looked at Sergey's patch, although I think he needs to rework the multiple board support.
I can rework anything and I'm thinking about making a davinci tree with separate board subdirs but I don't want to waste my time redoing that thing again and again. I would like to patch anything that is in the git tree.
I would like to see us get some stuff moving into the mainline git so we can build some structure for people to work with. I am really thrashing about trying to get NAND support going. I know people have solved this problem, but I can't see the right way to go.
As a matter of fact that my patch works just fine on different boards with small and large page NAND devices. That's what we are using now without any problems. Sure it works on DV-EVM... Please let me know what problems do you have with NAND and I'll probably be able to help you...
I do also have the initial bootloader that works on serial port and allows to load user app in DDR2, run it, write itself in NAND to act as an initial NAND bootloader that loads user app (e.g. U-Boot) and provides for simple command line debugging. That is also, IMHO, belongs to U-Boot, probably in a separate subdir or whatever. There is lot of those that used on differnt platforms and I think it would be really nice to have those in U-Boot tree to be able to bring up a new board from a virgin state without wasting time writing one...
The davinci people really need to get this stuff flowing into git.

Sorry for bothering, is there any news on that DaVinci support? I'm
working
on it and I have some new boards added and other changes so I would

Apologies - you fooled me with the "New Architecture". I did a quick google & found the TMS320DM6443 was a DSP, so assumed
it
would be a new DSP architecture, rather than being part of arm.
I don't always know where ARM cores have been used - it helps if the email subject mentions ARM.
I'll add your patch to my list.
