That is not true, u-boot-sunxi.git should be the default branch
for end users to use. I've not bothered fixing GMAC since I did not
think anyone was actually using network boot. But you're right we should
fix it. Ian, if I'm not mistaken to fix GMAC I should merge the
patches from your ijc/designware branch correct?  I know this will
grow the diff, but Siarhei is right, we cannot leave the default
branch we expect our end users to use in a broken state.

As for the "Thumb2 for FEL" patch, I think the patch is good, since
it unifies the 2 SPL-s a bit, but to keep things easier with
upstreaming I would like to ask you (Siarhei) to keep it in your own
repo for now.

Regards,

Hans
