[U-Boot] [STATUS] Merge Window closed - ARM board removal on the way

Hi all,
this to remind you that the merge window for the next release (v2011.09) was closed on Sun Jul 17, 2011.
Release "v2011.09" is scheduled in 48 days - on September 04, 2011.
You may - or may not - have noticed that I posted a larger patch set to remove all support for broken ARM boards that have not been maintained / fixed for many months.
I want to have this stuff cleaned up quickly so these build issues will be fixed for -rc1 which I would like to get out by the ond of this month. Given the typical review period you must react basicly immediately if you want to prevent the pending removal.
Please note that there is still a large number of non-compiling AT91 based boards; I may send another batch of removal patches - depending if we receive any input / comments / fixes from Reinhard.
All this has been announced months ago, and warnings were repeated a number of times, so please don't complain now if we follow through with the board removal, and don't expect any additional grace periods.
Best regards,
Wolfgang Denk

Just wondering about non-ARM related patches, here are a few I'm interested in closing on:
