Then that cannot go in now. We would break several rules at once: patches must be posted to the list first, and new stuff will get merged only when a merge window is open.
since Blackfin literrally has never compiled/linked in the mainline releases, theres no way i could break it even more. delaying these updates to make mainline Blackfin u-boot usable is only that: delay.
Still the patches need to be reviewed first.
as for posting the patches to the list, how do you know whether to merge it directly or pull from a repo ?
In cases like this one, where there is a custodian who caresa about the topic of the patches, I wait for his pull request and then pull from the repo. The posting of the patches is primarily for giving others a chance to review the stuff *before* it goes into mainline.
