Dear Albert Aribaud,

You mean you can release a patch before the end of the week, right?
Personally, when a patch was initially submitted before the end of the merge window, I will accept subsequent versions of it and apply them even if they are submitted after the merge window has closed.
The problem is that most of my old OMAP3 patch is obsoleted by Aneesh's OMAP4 patch (http://marc.info/?l=u-boot&m=131082102506002&w=2) and the new SPL- Framework (http://marc.info/?l=u-boot&m=131056990001719&w=2).
Therefore most of my old patch will be invalid - and some new parts will be added. It will be a major change not just some corrections.
But I had to wait for these two patches to get finished to add my changes otherwise duplicated and incomaptible work would have been done.
Sounds like a good candidate for a 'rule bend' IMHO

Graeme
