Thanks for clarifying this.

Simon, could you please confirm that you are not going to do anything
anymore with the third patch from your sunxi FEL fixes set?

Hans, could you please queue Simon's patches in the sunxi next branch
just like Tom suggested (and after the status of the third patch becomes
more clear)?

If I don't get any response in a few hours, I will just assume that
the third Simon's patch is to be kept as-is and submit additional
patches to be applied on top of it.

We are not exactly losing time. The sunxi FEL patches are getting
additional testing every day by me and also by other people (thanks
Karsten!). But missing the -rc2 release would not be great.

Thanks to everyone for doing a great job. The FEL mode support is
going to be much better than before.
