Dear Wolfgang Denk, are we OK with applying this and bootz patch please? Can we get it into .04 release please?
"this" - which patch version exactly are you referring to?
Revision V6.
Could you please be a bit more specific? Like posting a link to the respective message on gmane, or in patchwork?
http://patchwork.ozlabs.org/patch/146848/ http://patchwork.ozlabs.org/patch/147440/
The Subject: of this message is "BOOT: Add RAW ramdisk support to bootz", but I have not seen any V6 for this patch. Ican only guess that you might be referring to [PATCH V6] BOOT: Add "bootz" command to boot Linux zImage on ARM - but I'd rather be sure.
Yes, see above two links please.
I believe this patch is quite important to the linux-arm people and early adoption of this stuff would be very beneficial. Also, there are other patches that were applied after the MW was closed. Finally, this patch started long before .04 release cycle.
Where/when?
If you mean the patch, here: http://patchwork.ozlabs.org/patch/125318/
If you talk about accepting patches way past MW, almost all the time, at least in the ARM stuffs. And this works OK so far I believe, I see no breakage. Also, we didn't reach the RC phase yet either. Lastly, this change is not intrusive in any way.
Best regards,
Wolfgang Denk
