Hmmm.

ca6e1c13... is quite away from the current master branch tip. I suggest 
you use the master branch (of the most appropriate git repo for your 
board, mainline, ARM or OMAP).

Also, where does this "lot of patch files" come from? All the official 
code is in the u-boot git repositories, and nowhere else.

Just because the issue appears in common code does not mean the cause is 
there too.

This is the board maintainer. If you suspect common code, there is no 
reason to involve a specific board maintainer.

The best course of action is to send your patches to the list just like 
any others but with an added "[RFC]" tag in the subject lines.
