Thanks for clarifying and for pointing to patchwork. I should have been looking there before. Your link points to a different series, but I found the patches I was looking for here: http://patchwork.ozlabs.org/project/uboot/list/?series=237531&state=%2A&archive=both.

For some reason I can't find them in my mailbox, but that's probably a different story.

Thanks a lot!
