What is the time frame?

I think I have IXP425 mostly in shape - my own boards work, and IXDP425 
boots up and basically works. PCI is still a working area: I pulled out 
most of the old, IXP-specific code and changed the PCI code to use 
u-boot's PCI infrastructure.

This works fine for configuration, and I can dump and modify memory (eg. 
the bootrom on a E1000 card), but I can't get any of the ethernet 
drivers to work - possibly due to endian issues, but this might take 
some time to sort out.

Would it be OK to commit this as-is, knowing it may require some further 
fixups? At least it does work better than before.

Otherwise, I could leave out the whole PCI area and only provide patches 
for the boards without PCI, leaving IXP PCI in its current broken state.

Dear Michael Schwingen,

The original entry in doc/feature-removal-schedule.txt said:

	Support for CONFIG_SYS_ARM_WITHOUT_RELOC will be removed
	after release v2011.03; all boards that have not been
	converted by then, i. e. that are still broken then, are
	considered unmaintained and without interest for the
	community and will be removed as well.

Support for CONFIG_SYS_ARM_WITHOUT_RELOC has already been dropped,
which makes the problem obvious, but the time frame remains: boards
that are not working after v2011.03 has been released are treated as
wolfsheads i. e. may be killed on sight by anybody who submits such a
patch.

Of course, you can still object to such patches, but then you will
probably be asked to provide fixes to make the respective board
working before the end of the merge window.

Sorry, unclear wording on my part - I meant "what is the timeframe to
submit the final version of the patches for inclusion into the current
release".

OK - I will proceed that route. I think I can clean this up for
submission during the next weekend.

I'm missing my patch for the problem with redundand environments in NAND:

http://lists.denx.de/pipermail/u-boot/2011-January/086293.html

I think this should go into the 2010.03 too.

Alexander
