Since you already maintain most of the ep93xx core stuff I think that you are the right person for the job. If you need any assistance I believe me and Ryan can help you out. We have now few patches queued: - this series from me to fix the DMA API violations - phylib patches from Florian Fainelli It would be great to get those in someday :-)
