Sorry, but I'm really confused. In the first patch Jagan said to make 
separate patch
"just to test" the driver. Then I've made patch "just to test", and it's 
turn out it wasn't not OK,
because it should be compatible with linux, u-boot and etc. What's the 
point since it's just for testing...?

Sorry again, but can someone explain to me, that to do?
I'm not trying to pick on you guys. Just want to do the right thing.

Best regards,
