As a rule of generic board, people are supposed to do run-test
and then send a patch.


BTW, M68K is the last architecture that adopts per-board linker script.

M68K should switch to per-soc linker scripts like the other architecures.
It means all the followings should be merged into the single linker script
arch/m68k/cpu/u-boot.lds.

board/freescale/m52277evb/u-boot.lds
board/freescale/m5235evb/u-boot.lds
board/cobra5272/u-boot.lds
board/BuS/eb_cpu5282/u-boot.lds
board/freescale/m5208evbe/u-boot.lds
board/freescale/m5249evb/u-boot.lds

Is this possible for you?  (or for someone else?)

If there is no volunteer, it would be much easier to remove all the M68K boards
except the two you and Alison can maintain.

Maintain or Remove!
