Is there any special reason why no git pull request for mainline for 
this is sent? Isn't this an important fix which should go into 
mainline even if merge window is not open?

And btw: What's about merging clean up patches like

http://lists.denx.de/pipermail/u-boot/2008-November/043220.html

now (outside merge window) into mainline via e.g. u-boot-arm/master? 
Having this merged now, I could rebase OMAP3 patch against this and 
mainline would be ready when merge window opens.
