Hi, Morgan,

I'm glad to see you have noticed that the patches commit to u-boot mainline
is undergoing.
I also guess the old andesboot (prior version of u-boot) we've provided was
not enough for your purpose.

1st, please add "u-boot at lists.denx.de" into the CC list on each e-mail
trasaction so that every developer of u-boot could involve the disscussion
and help you.

2nd, I'm curious that your company or organization might be one of our
customers, could you tell me whom you're working for?
So that our company could provide you better service on u-boot related
issues.

3rd, because every developer on u-boot project is busy doing code revise for
ARM arch in recent. So I invite you to help on code review on the mailing
list.
Because your help on code review, those patches will be accepted ASAP to the
u-boot project.
Just test the patches and reply the patch to the mailing list with
"Acked-by: mingdien.chang at gmail.com" could help,

Let me explain for you, the patch version v1 to v5 just tagged for the
revision for the same single "patch".
So you just need to apply the latest patch you have. Please do not take care
about the v1-v4 patches.
The latest patch includes the latest update against to the main trunk
(master) source code.

If you have furthor questions, please reply on the mailing list.
Hope we can work this out together.
