Yes, I understood these. But Albert said "I won't pull from
u-boot-sh.git. becauase this
repository is not ARM tree." in the inside of mail with him.
I think that I also want rmobile to receive request-pull like other
ARM SoCs if possible.
Of course, I want to take precedence to the code of rmobile being taken in.
