wrt Blackfin, those statements are conflicting. fixing the Blackfin tree involves major new code. of the changes i posted, only 2 or 3 touch Blackfin-specific pieces in files outside of Blackfin trees, and do so in a controlled manner (obj-$(CONFIG) in the Makefiles). those are not generally "bugfix" in nature though. but you dont really care: it's big changes that havent been posted to the u-boot list for review, only been reviewed in the Blackfin fork on blackfin.uclinux.org by our team / customers over the last year. -mike
