Hi guys,

To move things forward, I would propose myself to act as the custodian
for the SOCFPGA repository after discussing with Dinh. I have been
active on U-Boot forum and hopefully build up some credibility :). At
same time, this will enforce someone from Altera (Dinh, Vince and
myself) to review and ack each submitted patch.  We would also able to
help to test and offer any troubleshooting assistant to the patch
submitter.

Hopefully would get a green light from everyone. We really appreciate
Marek's suggestion as the repo is a great idea to speed up the SOCFPGA
patch submission process. It will offload some of Albert's heavy load
too as currently we heavily rely for Albert to integrate SOCFPGA
patches. Due to that, to benefit everyone, we would like to have this
repo as soon as possible.

Thanks
Chin Liang
