Thanks. > Maybe I would add my 2 cents... There are a lot of MPC85xx systems out there - and probably (my guess) is that at some point some customers would be "forced" to refurbish them. Some companies need very long time to realize that their crucial legacy products may be removed from u-boot. I would opt for longer and more "broadcast" obsolence process. I had similar situation in the past when some Samsung SoCs were removed from u-boot - nobody was willing to pay for re-adding them upstrem - this means that they were kept out of tree. -- Best regards, Lukasz Majewski -- Nabla Software Engineering GmbH HRB 40522 Augsburg Phone: +49 821 45592596 E-Mail: office@nabladev.com Managing Director : Stefano Babic
