I have explained my concerns in the past about footprint, too, but there is nothing I can do. This is the way we have to go on and we have to find solutions. > > So much for that.

Today is Sunday, I have also not expected you was fast to answer.... ;-) It is also fine for me to wait until tomorrow. I just want to sent PR to Tom as soon as possible, because there are many developers waiting for the merge from -next. tbs2910 is the only board with issues from Travis, and I can confirm that it is still ok on u-boot-imx, next. Something new is slipped down between 2019.rc4 and 2019.04 and at the end had increased again the footprint.
