Yes, but there is different types of changes.
There is no need to discuss a bug fix - it should always be applied to
all affected boards, of course.
But this is not a bug fix - it is a change of the board configura-
tion, i. e. of the board customization. I think it is NOT a good idea
if anybody meddles with the configuration of someone elses board
without discussing this explicitely with the respective board
maintainer. In the current case, it was totally unclear to me if
"foreign" boards would be changed, or not.
As a complication there is the problem that this patch does not even
apply to the current U-Boot tree, which does not contain such files
like include/configs/MPC832XEMDS.h or include/configs/sbc8349.h; and
the patch did not contain any indication which tree it was against
and/or which previous patches it requires.
Best regards,
Wolfgang Denk
