What I meant was to create a completely fresh branch based on mainline u-boot. It should use the same base revision as the latest upstream version merged into the sunxi branch, to facilitate diffing, but otherwise has basically nothing to do with it so far as git history goes (other than taking care about crediting the right people). > Like discussed with Hans, I'd suggest you submit a bare minimal machine > upstream > so there's some starting point and add the remaining bits later on. Right, that was what I was suggesting too, and in fact what I've made a start on doing. > You might also end up re-engineering the fundamentals of the sunxi > port, which seem to be rotting a little (all those custom linker > scripts, custom base addresses that might be unified, weird position > of the stack etc). Sure, I think it is inevitable that upstream review will result in some, possibly even major, changes.
