Not pubslishing your code would be a stupid thing to do. Are you aware
how quickly out-of-mainline code rots? You are already two releases
behind against current mainline, and a lot of changes have already
been queued up in the "next" branch for the next release. 

Try to forward port your stuff to the "next" branch (you will have to
do that to submit any patches), and then think again if it makes sense
for you to maintain an out-of-tree port.  It doesn't.

Apply common sense. Then submit your patches. We  will  tell  you  if
they  fit.  Note  that  so  far there is no LPC2468 support in U-Boot
mainline, so you must provide some complete working  board  port,  or
there would be code which cannot even be compiled, and we don't allow
that.

Best regards,

Wolfgang Denk
