Are you the maintainer of the sbc8349 baord?
Did you discuss such a change with the maintainer?
Ummm... Isn't that what this mailing list is for? To discuss changes?
Yes, but there is different types of changes.
There is no need to discuss a bug fix - it should always be applied to all affected boards, of course.
But this is not a bug fix - it is a change of the board configura- tion, i. e. of the board customization. I think it is NOT a good idea if anybody meddles with the configuration of someone elses board without discussing this explicitely with the respective board maintainer. In the current case, it was totally unclear to me if "foreign" boards would be changed, or not.
As a complication there is the problem that this patch does not even apply to the current U-Boot tree, which does not contain such files like include/configs/MPC832XEMDS.h or include/configs/sbc8349.h; and the patch did not contain any indication which tree it was against and/or which previous patches it requires.
