Just to make my position clear: I expect that you negotiate new-image
related patches more or less directly with Bartek, who I consider  as
kind of "new-image" custodian.

That means that I will not track the state of these patches - if  you
want me to apply something directly, please ring a bell.

Bartek: I would also appreciate if you could merge Kumar's patches in
a local repo and then send me just a pull request when something is
ready to go into u-boot-testing (or even into mainline).

Thanks!

Best regards,

Wolfgang Denk
