Dear Marcel,

The GPBR is optional in my code. I just use it because it's the nicest solution for me over the following options :
I haven't seen your code yet, so I may misunderstand what you are actually referring to, but from what it sounds I think that should not be optional, but strictly separate from the DFU code.
Do you mean separate patches to add for example the sam9g45 USB controller and another patch to add DFU and another one to add my board ?
Yes.
It does make sense to that, I just wonder how to generate those patches...... I know which files I want to include in separate patches, but how do I do that ?
Normally you do this when developing the code.
If you already have alltogehter as a huge pile of a mess, then you will have to go thtrough splitting this up. Either completely manually (ouch...) or by using git's interactive capabilities - for example, "git add --interactive" can be used to select even single lines from hunks of changes into the next commit.
Yes, this is a painful work, but it needs to be done to make your code acceptable for mainline.
Thanks again. I read most of it and try posting it like that. It does look like I'll be reading the git manual again.
Well, I have to look up certain details again and again, and I do not hesitate to refer to certain cheat sheets either when I have to perform non-trivial actions.
Best regards,
