Hi Tom,

Now I have my own tree ("u-boot-arc") and I may commit there changes for ARC architecture.

But I'm wondering if I may commit changes to boards I maintain in the same "u-boot-arc" repo as well? Currently these are all in "board/synopsys" folder.

Or I need to send patches for my boards to the mailing list and you'll apply them to the master u-boot git?

So, all patches must be posted to the list for review first. But once that's done, you can apply them to your tree and give me a pull request. The rule of thumb I go by for my own patches is outside of critical fixes I wait a week before applying.
