As I told above, I have two addresses in use, and patman chose one, which
I'm not using for mailing list subscription.

It happens, but at least I can get the idea. I re-read the cover letter and
it sounds to me (in light of Edison chain loader) that I have to see entire
series.

Unfortunately my main priorities is not a U-Boot work, so, if you think it's
not breaking existing platforms, go ahead, we will notice breakage sooner or

More important is what you are doing in your ACPI series, which I (slowly)
has been reviewing.
