I am not sure I have understood your sentence: what do you mean with
"there" ? Are you suggesting another place for the pads ?

Agree. A full cleanup is necessary before trying to push the changes we
have already discussed.

I tend also to prepare a new branch on u-boot-imx, where I will play the
current status for the imx6 - these changes will not flow into 2013.10,
and maybe having a branch to test will help.

Best regards,
Stefano
