Adding linux maintainers to CC, since if it dies here, it should probably also die in the linux kernel as well...

that. Let's get rid fof it.
Would be sad, at least now ...
I'm willing to get u-boot avr32 support to live on for at least some years, if no one else volunteers.

Hi,
that'd be great! There's especially one problem I found with the AVR32 stuff. The MMC driver. I take it the "gen_atmel_mci.c" driver can be used instead of "atmel_mci.c", which uses the legacy MMC API? Can you flip the AVR32 boards to the new MMC driver so we can drop the legacy MMC API any soon please?
Thanks!

Sven posted patches [1] some days ago which are almost working. That series have some timing issues which should be fixed inside the mmc framework, see [2] for more information on that.
I will rework these patches next days and do some testing. Would be great to get a comment on [2] from Andy Fleming (as MMC custodian).

Thanks a lot for volunteering. Please send me your ssh public key so I can give you write access to the AVR32 repo.
Best regards,
Wolfgang Denk

Thanks from my side as well, U-Boot has not been prioritized by me for some time. And with limited time, it would be good that somebody active keeps an eye open.
