The problem is that most of my old OMAP3 patch is obsoleted by Aneesh's OMAP4 patch (http://marc.info/?l=u-boot&m=131082102506002&w=2) and the new SPL- Framework (http://marc.info/?l=u-boot&m=131056990001719&w=2). Therefore most of my old patch will be invalid - and some new parts will be added. It will be a major change not just some corrections. But I had to wait for these two patches to get finished to add my changes otherwise duplicated and incomaptible work would have been done. > Only, be sure to follow *all* rules for submitting new versions of a > patch set as laid out in > <http://www.denx.de/wiki/view/U-Boot/Patches#Sending_updated_patch_versions> > .
