Dear Holger

To avoid any further confusion let's keep aside all the past.
1. Pls post the new patch series that is just targeted for bugfixes and updates (no addition of new boards or drivers)
2. You may post anther patch series for addition of new boards which does not have any dependencies (if you have such)
3. You may post a standalone patch for a switch driver, needed ack from Joe, that might go to u-boot-net.git
4. You may post a board support patch using this switch.

#1,#2 I hope will be pulled faster, rest may take some time.

Regards...
Prafulla . . . .
