Exactly ;)

Alright, and I can see that syncing would be a rather big task.

But instead I was offering the same patches against the Marvell tree,
without the need for any syncing.

They're now in a pull request I just created on Marvell's public github:
https://github.com/MarvellEmbeddedProcessors/u-boot-marvell/pull/8

Thanks,
Andre
