I would expect, that the state of the current repository represents
what we get after applying Sascha's and Guennadi's patches (in the
correct versions and order). Howver, the current tree looks totally
different to me.

Can you please check with Guennadi what happened, how this can be
cleaned up, and especially how this can be prevented in the future?

Note that there is not only not the expected state of the source code,
but there is also corruption of meta-information again; for example:

	-> git-show --pretty=fuller 7a837b7310166ae8fc8b8d66d7ef01b60a80f9d6

	    Support for the MX31ADS evaluation board from Freescale
	...

None of Guennadis messages on the mailing list  ever  used  something
like "[lg at denx.de]" - this must be something that happend on your end
when  processing  his  patches.  Where  are the brackets coming from?
Don't you use git-am to apply the patches?

Best regards,

Wolfgang Denk
