[U-Boot] u-boot patch base version

[Joe Hershberger]

Hello,

I'm looking to submit some patches that I'm currently running on
u-boot-2009.11.  I'd like to know before I go through the trouble of
creating the separate patches if it is a problem for the patches to be
based on that version.  Should I first port the changes to a newer
version or not?

Thanks,
-Joe

All patches should be based on the current top-of-tree, which is 
available at:

git://git.denx.de/u-boot.git

If this advice appears to be in a foreign language, you need to read 
about git, and will find all sorts of stuff about it on the web.

Yes, you are supposed to submit patches always against the current
top-of-tree in the master branch (or, in th elate release cycl phases,
against the thene xistent "next" branch) of the U-Boot master repo.
For details please see http://www.denx.de/wiki/U-Boot/Patches
