Hi Wolfgang,
[...]
Sorry, but I disagree. How many board directories are there in U-Boot? Several hundreds... How many board directories did you check to make sure none of them contains any driver that is similar to what you implement here?
If we place the driver in your board diretory, the chances are huge it will simply sit there and rot, and the next one who needs something similar will reinvent the wheel because he did not find your copy.
I agree that even very simple and uncomplete implementations can co in if the fulfil some purpose, and can form a basis for future extensions.
To make sure everybody sees such code, we should really add it to the standard locations.
According to the current situation, we have the choice of getting good code into a board directory or no code at all because Prafulla doesn't accept the code in its current incarnation into a general place. I don't need a crystal ball to see that the project will loose code this way. I'm sorry that the project rejects working code and I re-ask Prafulla to reconsider his NAK which has impact on the whole project.
Cheers Detlev
