[U-Boot-Users] LAST attempt - TI DaVinci TMS320DM644x support, part 1

Hello,
Here is my last attempt to somehow get this included in the main tree. Previous attempt was ignored, nobody told if something was wrong with this, TI guys just said some BS of another silicon revision and they were going to do something...
I'm not for a blood and don't want to start a rant but can somebody tell what is wrong with this? Or despite it being GPL I'm not good enough for such a contribution and U-Boot custodians have some kind of particular agreement with TI to protect their territory? Even despite all the BS about new silicon revisions and some workarounds no longer necessary, i.e. ALL the older boards, including $5K DV-EVM with older TM_X_320DM6446 are not supposed to work with TI's long promised shiny new version?
Please let me know why this is not taken and silently ignored.

Sorry for this delay. But IIRC there was interest in your patches. Only nobody did a review till now. I CC'ed Peter Pease, the U-Boot ARM custodian since he will be responsible for this inclusion.
Peter, did you find the time to take a look at the patches? I'm not sure about the status of TI's DaVinci support and if we really should wait for their support. Perhaps it's better to start with Sergey's version.

You are not being ignored. Unfortunately the U-Boot patch queue is still very long and it takes a lot of patience to cope with this situation. Sorry for this.
