Anyway, who will maintain the efikas in future ? Marek, do you hold it, or Matt will take this job ?
I'll do it but I doubt I'm going to be around as much as Marek. What I'm a little fearful of is having patches try and hit the Efika stuff and me not having much time that day to review, they either stagnate or get accepted anyway breaking something. I can't test every patch everyone sends, we just want to be sure it's hit a certain level of quality and solve some of the issues we hacked around at the Freescale BSP level are in mainline as we simply can't use the BSP version anymore (doesn't support bootz or device trees...)
In last case I would like to see a patch for the MAINTAINER file.
I'll submit it when I feel like we're actually being "forced" to maintain it. I am of two minds; I will be the responsible party if needs be, but that means Efika MX stuff is going to be commercially driven by our needs (i.e. runs our boot scripts, supports the board the way we dictate (no video, no usb keyboards..), no changes to support "developers" if they are simply being too needy), and if it doesn't suit us in terms of breaking something or changing behaviour wildly, we'll NACK the crap out of it. If that's acceptable, sure... Marek says U-Boot doesn't follow this development model, but that would put Denx out of business.
