Jagan,

I think get_maintainer.pl may have given me an old email address for
you and you may have missed it on the mailing list. Either way if you
get a chance I'd like hear what you think. I'm not sure which
tree/branch you're working with (u-boot-spi
 master?) but if you need it rebased just let me know.

Thanks,
George
