cause this is atmel/at91 related it should go through u-boot-atmel. The patches 
are on top of atmel/at91: '816dd1b AT91: add header file for the Shutdown 
Controller'.

docs/README.arm-relocation says: "Boards which are not fixed to support 
relocation will be REMOVED!"
If one can fix some remaining atmel (or arm in general) boards they should 
become the new maintainer.

3. How should we treat at91rm9200 boards which are not transformed to at91. I 
plan to get the at91rm9200 device drivers (at91rm9200_usart, emac) merged with 
at91 implementation. When we do this transition (will last til end of this year 
at least; not before 2011.03/maybe 2011.06) we could completely delete the 
deprecated drivers. Thus we break at91rm9200 boards completely (which may not 
working at all due to new arm relocation stuff ... but who knows/test this/is 
responsible for?). Should we write down/propagate a time schedule for this 
transition as it is done for arm relocation? Should we drop those possible not 
working boards in general?

Jens, you began with at91rm9200 to at91 transition as far as I know. How do you 
think about it? In README.at91rm9200 there is a little definition how to do the 
transition from at91rm9200 to at91 but no time schedule or dead line.

regards

Andreas Bießmann
