Also, I went back and look at the "flurry" of patches for socfpga, and I must commend Tom Rini on a fantastic job for applying the patches. I was only able to find 1 patch that needed addressing:
[socfpga: generic board for socfpga] from Pavel Machek
Can you test it, and Reviewed-by/Acked-by/Tested-by or something the patch? patchwork collects these and that is a big part of our review and merge process here.
This is actually a big patch which should be split to smaller patch. Nevertheless, I already started reviewing it last week and hopefully can get it reviewed by today.
I did manage to split that big patch, clean it up and update it to match the latest rocketboards 2013.01.01 code. Please give me a few more days to finish with this and post the result. It's about 50 patches so far. I can send them to you off-list if you want to check them early.
So far, the SPL cannot be built and I still depend on the one generated by Quartus. On the other hand , the rest of the U-Boot works well, incl. ethernet and SDMMC . I also fixed L1 and L2 cache issues all over the place and cleaned up the code, so the thing is also much faster now.
For now, I have it applied to
git://git.rocketboards.org/u-boot-socfpga-next.git for_next branch.
Here's a difference from the Linux kernel community. We really do want to use a git tree hosted on git.denx.de for pulls.
There are a few patches that needs to be addressed in the mailing list, but I don't see any other patches that needs to be applied at this moment. Please correct me if I'm wrong.
To summarize, have we failed as maintainers of socfpga that you would need to assign somebody else to be the custodian for socfpga? If so, I apologize and would like for you to reconsider your position and let us try to do a better job.
Just like in the kernel community, it's a position that has to be earned. I understand there should be big round of patches posted soon, which will be a good place to see follow-through. There's also the denali NAND patches which are blocking another SoC from going in as well which I'm hoping to see v10 of posted sometime in the coming week.
The v10 NAND patch was posted last week. In fact, the patch was working for both Altera and Panasonic since v7. It takes up to v10 as I received some late comments.
At same time, just fyi, there is slowness for for last few patches as I was on paternity leave for last few weeks :)
No worries.
Best regards, Marek Vasut
