[U-Boot] [Turris Omnia] Btrfs support status?
Hello,
the Turris Omnia router uses btrfs as the main filesystem, from which it also loads kernel and dts. We have an implementation in our internal u-boot (https://gitlab.labs.nic.cz/turris/turris-omnia-uboot/tree/master/fs/btrfs).
As I understand it, this code was already proposed for u-boot: https://patchwork.ozlabs.org/patch/300593/ . Is this true? Why was it not accepted? Does this code need to be rewritten, or something? Or is there simply no interest in mainlining support for btrfs?
Thank you.

I picked these patches in the first place and I have fixed some obvious problems in my version in Turris Omnia tree (see git log). Please note that it is more a proof of concept, that we (unfortunately) use. I think that it needs removing static variables, remove predetermined constant size for many variable-sized data structures and it needs heavy code cleanup. Or rewrite...
