Understand. But it looks like Reinhard has bunch of paid work at hand 
and he has his vocation in the near future (He mentioned this in an 
email towards Wolfgang's  [U-Boot] [PATCH 00/52] ARM: remove broken 
boards). We noticed that there are several AT91 fixes in the mailing 
list without any response.

As a suggestion, how about we setup a git branch and collect AT91 
related patches during Reinhard's busy time and vocation time? If yes, 
can we ask for `pull request' from you?

Thanks.

BR,
Eric
