I suggest you do the changes for all of U-Boot and test them on your specific board, then submit the patchset and Cc: all architecture custodians, who will run tests on their respective architectures. <http://www.denx.de/wiki/U-Boot/Patches> will give you all info on preparing and sending patches -- remember that's a two-patch set. IMO you don't necessarily need a cover letter as long as each patch has a clear commit message. <http://www.denx.de/wiki/U-Boot/Custodians> will give you the list of all custodians; you can pick the architecture ones there. All this, of course, if Wolfgang agrees to this suggestion. Amicalement, -- Albert. _______________________________________________ U-Boot mailing list U-Boot@lists.denx.de http://lists.denx.de/mailman/listinfo/u-boot
