Are there any updates for this patch? The UBI SPL support is pending
for a while ...

I pushed my last (rebased to mainline) state to:

http://git.denx.de/?p=u-boot/u-boot-ubi.git;a=shortlog;h=refs/heads/ubi-spl

without the 2 igep00x0 board patches:

- [U-Boot,PATCHv7,6/7] igep00x0: UBIize
   https://patchwork.ozlabs.org/patch/569214/

- [U-Boot,PATCHv4,7/7] igep00x0: Falcon mode
   https://patchwork.ozlabs.org/patch/569215/

Could you please update your patches for the board support, so we can
push the UBI SPL support to mainline?

Thanks!

bye,
Heiko
