As I see it, the 'sunxi' branch at u-boot-sunxi.git is good for nothing. It does not even try to be in a workable state for the end users (the broken GMAC is telling a lot). And at the same time its usefulness for the upstreaming efforts is also not very clear, thanks to the complicated merge history and the applied/adjusted/reverted patches. Do we have a branch, which is just the upstream u-boot with a minimal sunxi patch set applied on top of it? > > Well, I'm also considering that it might be a good idea to just wait > > until the basic sunxi support lands upstream.

Please note that here I'm optimistically assuming that the sunxi patch set (submitted during the merge window, which has just ended) still somehow makes it into upstream u-boot 2014.07. If this is not the case, then everything is a little bit more complicated. -- Best regards, Siarhei Siamashka -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "linux-sunxi" group.
