I've replied now with more feedback. Please also look at my reply at https://lists.denx.de/pipermail/u-boot/2023-June/520031.html To recapitulate - Pali worked on this over a year ago, he has done quite a lot of work - it wasn't accepted at the time due to how some things changed in U-Boot - things regarding the conversion of CONFIG_ options, which Pali disagreed with since some of it was done in a wrong way. He wanted those changes to be reverted whole - I promised Pali to work it out, once I had time to look into it. I expected to be able to do it in october / november. Unfortunately I wasn't able to, things have been quite hectic since then (I was working on my diploma thesis and afterwards when I returned to work, more pressing things took precedence) Thus I quite understand why Pali is frustrated, since he has done the work over a year ago. I am awfully sorry about this :-( By no means I have forgotten about this. We at Turris still want to work on this, since we are still interested in maintaining Turris 1.x. We are currently in the process of hiring new kernel developers, and so hopefully I will be able to work on this issue soon. Marek
