Contributing the EHCI driver is one such plan :-)

The board is proprietary. Not everything will be contributed,
because it will be of no use to anyone (not to mention that we
probably did things to the code that would not be acceptable
if it were to be part of U-Boot. :-)

The plan is to simply offer code for contribution when we think
it could be useful for all parties concerned and let the U-Boot
community decide whether they want it or not. How much will be
contributed in the end, I don't know.
