Please note that this is a tendency I seriously dislike.


Please do NOT do this.


Please see bullet # 3 at http://www.denx.de/wiki/U-Boot/Patches :

	Please use the "master" branch of the mainline U-Boot git
	repository (git://git.denx.de/u-boot.git) as reference, unless
	(usually late in a release cycle) there has been an
	announcement to use the "next" branch of this repository
	instead.

If we see patches againt any of 30 or so custodian trees, which don't
apply against the "official" master tree, we will see chaos pretty
soon. Please let's make sure there is only minimal difference between
custdian trees and "master" (or "next"), so there is no reason to use
custodian tress as reference for patches instead.


Please _always_ use "master" (or "next") as base for patches!

Best regards,

Wolfgang Denk
