Rename of the u-boot-atmel custodian tree
Hello everyone,
I plan to rename the u-boot-atmel tree to u-boot-at91 .
It's been more than 5 years since Atmel is part of Microchip, and the name is slowly being changed to reflect the new reality.
It makes more sense to have the custodian tree named u-boot-at91 , as this tree is used only for patches related to the at91 boards and drivers (not any other former Atmel product, nor any other Microchip product ). I won't be naming it u-boot-microchip since Microchip does much more than just the former Atmel MPUs (AT91 architecture) .
This means, however, that all remotes to this tree have to be updated. I do not see any other side effect at this moment.
I will wait some more time , few weeks or one month, before making this change, to allow anyone to comment on this.
Thanks, Eugen

Sounds like a good plan to me, thanks!
