Dear "Paulraj, Sandeep",
In message 0554BEF07D437848AF01B9C9B5F0BC5D942DC993@dlee01.ent.ti.com you wrote:
I hope you made the patches against the current u-boot-ti/master
Please note that this is a tendency I seriously dislike.
Please do NOT do this.
Please see bullet # 3 at http://www.denx.de/wiki/U-Boot/Patches :
Please use the "master" branch of the mainline U-Boot git repository (git://git.denx.de/u-boot.git) as reference, unless (usually late in a release cycle) there has been an announcement to use the "next" branch of this repository instead.
If we see patches againt any of 30 or so custodian trees, which don't apply against the "official" master tree, we will see chaos pretty soon. Please let's make sure there is only minimal difference between custdian trees and "master" (or "next"), so there is no reason to use custodian tress as reference for patches instead.
Please _always_ use "master" (or "next") as base for patches!
[Hiremath, Vaibhav] Before submitting patch I conformed that the patches gets applied on master branch cleanly.
Thanks, Vaibhav
Best regards,
Wolfgang Denk
