Oh dear...what is the motivation for using a submodule?

Our current stack is nicely integrated into U-Boot. This would make
moving between development branches much more painful.

I would much prefer that we bring in the necessary code, and that you
send a patch every 3 months or so to deal with updates, making sure
there are no code-size regressions.

Regards,
Simon
