I guess I should have been clearer, but John understood my exact take on
this: Our boards will only become operational in about a year. There's no
point in sending them upstream until then (we don't even have
prototypes...).
Furthermore, Wolfgang may disagree here, but I really think that only
reference boards (i.e. boards needed for evaluation of processors etc.)
should be merged into U-boot's main stream repository. Our boards are just
variations of the Freescale reference boards, and I guess that's the same
for many other boards by other companies. I wouldn't want to see ALL these
boards merged into U-boot. Of course that if one finds a problem, or have an
improvement, one's expected to send a patch to the proper place (as I did
with the 83xx Makefile). Needless to say that the boards' code should be
published due to GPL terms, but again - don't think it should be in the main
U-boot repository.
If you agree with me, then my suggestion would spare you the pain of merging
the names of your boards (again - the ones that are either not ready for
upstream merging, or the ones that are not supposed to go to U-boot's repos)
into MAKEALL.
Best regards,
David.
