Dear Armando,

We are a team of developers that would like to post a series of patches for the support in u-boot of a new ARM platform (SPEAr).
You are welcome!
I have one questions regarding the GIT.
Do we really require to have a public GIT repository to publish our work so that others can watch at it?
No, you do not need this. There is no such requiremnt mentioned anywhere in the documentation that describes the patch submission process, like http://www.denx.de/wiki/U-Boot/Patches
Or it is enough just to clone the proper GIT repository and submit GIT patches to the mailing list for the review?
This is all that's needed. Nothing else is required.
We are beyond a company firewall, and I would prefer, if possible, to simplify the transaction. No problems to clone the GIT thru http.
You're all set, then.
Best regards,
Wolfgang Denk
