U-Boot has a different policy. Here nothing goes into mainline that
has not been posted on the mailing list before. There are several
reasons for this: 1) We want to make sure that the code has actually
been visible and reviewed. When pulling from a git repo, you just get
a drop of software in unknown condition. 2) We want to make sure the
review process gets recorded - we use patchwork for this purpose.
So if you want to submit your code, then please post patches. There
is no way around this step.
Thanks.
Best regards,
Wolfgang Denk
