i don`t expect that this is being done, but using non mainline code does not 
always mean that the problem is not in mainline.  The problem with this is, that 
i cannot use mainline to test how it behaves there....

Apparently, it`s on the way (learnt that today), so maybe this needs just 
one or two more rounds to go trough. It seems it was not sent by the original
author.

(just wondering, why i did not find that via google and gmane search on the 
u-boot mailing list archive - i searched for dockstar and for freeagent , but got
no hits!)
