I would like the project maintainer to make the final decision. And this time I'm trying to understand how lwIP maintenance works. And how long does it take to merge a patch to lwip. For the latest Ilias comment I did a fix to lwip, which is pending. https://lists.nongnu.org/archive/html/lwip-devel/2023-09/msg00004.html and created a bug with the same patch: https://savannah.nongnu.org/bugs/?64697 And it's interesting when patches get merged. Also there is a long list of not yet accepted patches (86 open items): https://savannah.nongnu.org/patch/?group=lwip I am afraid that if lwip patch acceptance will be too slow it also can slow down U-Boot development. Best regards, Maxim.
