If you correctly skip the HW init, you can try booting u-boot from u-boot ... (now, WD will hate me for bringing this up :-) ). It's possible, but unsupported operation. You might need to do some research on this matter :-) > > What is the general patch acceptance around, I see ext4 wasn't accepted, > what are the chances my patches would be?
