Not me. It is Wolfgang that decides what is acceptable. I might have 
argued my position a bit more passionately in the past as well regarding 
some changes but I do not have any such decision making capability here.

I have interest in this peace of code because we use it and I have 
submitted some patches and studied the code probably a little more 
closely than others.

I am all for someone picking up all the pending patches and merging in. 
I wish I could do this but I really do not have time at this time. I 
guess this is true for most of us nowadays.

I am looking at "cfi_testing" branch proposal from Wolfgang as a medium 
to incorporate all the pending patches and resolve the merge conflicts 
between various patches before we can sync back to the mainline.

Since a lot of people are now dependent on these patches (as evidenced 
by frequency of questions regarding cfi_flash.c driver on the list) 
there is a lot of good to come if we merge these "somewhere" and after a 
testing period of say 1 month if everyone is happy (and especially 
Wolfgang) we can merge back to mainline hopefully before next release of 
U-Boot.

Wolfgang what do you think?

Best regards,
Tolunay
