I still don't see any argument against applying this patch -- other than the fact it will break some out-of-tree port.
Isn't it good enough?
It is not good enough, we can not care about out-of-tree ports. If we had to consider every single out-of-tree patchset for U-Boot, we'd be stuck in one place.
You know about my port; you know where it is and in fact you've been helping guiding me about the technical issues I have no knowledge about.
Yes, I did know about it. But there was no activity recently, so I started pushing it.
So what is the point in merge something which is know to break other tree?
See above for the explanation.
I hope you and Stefano hold it. I would love if you could send it for merging in my tree and when it is done we merge it.
You can rebase your tree on top of mainline, no problem with that.
Best regards, Marek Vasut
