Dear Sergey Lapin,

Tom is right when asking to use a stable kernel tree version as starting point. Said "interesting changes" may be added in a second step, once we have proven that the stable code is actually working stable for us, too.
OK, will rebase.
Well, I reviewed the difference with 3.7.1 and 3.8-rc's MTD, and I see some changes I critically depend on. These are very small, though. The rest can be added for completeness. I can make these changes into separate patch, will it be fine with you?
Ideally you should come up with a workign implementation based on the current stable tree. The locate any additional commits in Linux that are needed / useful from your point of view, and check if these can be applied _directly_ (i. e. the unmodified Linux commits) to the U-Boot tree. If we can do this, any future updates will be much easier, so this is a good test for the benefits of the new version.
Best regards,
Wolfgang Denk
