U-Boot has a different policy.  Here nothing goes into mainline that
has not been posted on the mailing list before.  There are several
reasons for this:  1) We want to make sure that the code has actually
been visible and reviewed.  When pulling from a git repo, you just get
a drop of software in unknown condition.  2) We want to make sure the
review process gets recorded - we use patchwork for this purpose.

So if you want to submit your code, then please post patches.  There
is no way around this step.

Thanks.

Best regards,

Wolfgang Denk
