i understand where you're coming from, and i intend to follow the rules ... 
after Blackfin in mainline is actually usable.  i'm being pragmatic here: 
since Blackfin literrally has never compiled/linked in the mainline releases, 
theres no way i could break it even more.  delaying these updates to make 
mainline Blackfin u-boot usable is only that: delay.

as for posting the patches to the list, how do you know whether to merge it 
directly or pull from a repo ?
