I can maintain it at least for a year without many issues. I need that code for many projects inside HPE, so it is not that hard on my side, and I will work with u-boot during the next couple of months. Promising anything after a year is tough to anybody, but I will give it a try without any issues. Other good news is that I soon got contact with other end users who tested the patch on live systems (different than my dev platform). So looks like there is some interest for this device. So stay tune, and new update on Wednesday as soon as I have tested the new patch. We can then decide what do we want keep and remove. I strip down the code the the “easiest” code that it could be, which is simplifying it against the kernel perhaps too much as you mention, but it is also easy to maintain that way.
