OK, good.

I went to the samsung tree since the cover letter for this series
pointed me there.  But I just tried the latest version of this series
(v11) using mainlin u-boot.  Thanks for the pointer.

OK, thanks.  Any pointers on how to get this building with mainline
u-boot?  Just adding CONFIG_SPL to odroid_xu3.h doesn't seem to work
(compile errors.)  I'm quite comfortable in the kernel, but I'm not very
familiar with u-boot, especially SPL.

OK, I'll be glad to be a beta tester if/when you get to that point.

Thanks,
