[U-Boot] [PATCH v1 0/9] sunxi: initial upstreamining effort

[Ian Campbell]

Hi,

This is my first cut at an upstreamable series based upon the
https://github.com/linux-sunxi/u-boot-sunxi.git#sunxi tree. The
intention is to present a minimal starting point for upstreaming to
which support for other processors, peripherals, boards etc can be
added in the future. Therefore this has been stripped right back and
currently supports only sun7i processors and the cubietruck
board. Supported peripherals are UART, MMC and Ethernet.

The code here is from sunxi.git#sunxi[0] changeset d854c4de2f57 "arm:
Handle .gnu.hash section in ldscripts" and applied to u-boot v2014.01.

This series can also be found at:

    git://gitorious.org/ijc/u-boot.git sunxi-mainlining-v1

There is no SMP here, since that relies on the PSCI support from Marc
Zyngier which has yet to land in mainline AFAIK.

I've tried to give corect credit and S-o-b based upon:
  git log --pretty='%aN' linux-sunxi/sunxi -- [PATHS] | sort -u
  git log linux-sunxi/sunxi -- [PATHS] | grep -i signed.off.by  | sort -u
  Manual inspection

This will tend to over credit, since it will include folks who
contributed code which has since been removed as well as those who
contributed code which is not included in this patch set, but I think
it is better to be conservative and include too many rather than
incorrectly exclude people. Doing better than this would be IMHO too
hard to be worth it (e.g. git blame would prefer a recent whitespace
cleanup to the actual author of the code and prefer someone did code
motion over the original author, so it would be a massive & manual
process).

I considered using the sunxi.git#sunxi-patchqueue branch but it was
151 patches and there didn't seem to be a small enough set of prefix
patches which I was comfortable starting from.

Cheers,
Ian.
