Adding linux maintainers to CC, since if it dies here, it should probably
also die in the linux kernel as well...

Would be sad, at least now ...

I'm willing to get u-boot avr32 support to live on for at least some
years, if no one else volunteers.

Hi,

that'd be great! There's especially one problem I found with the AVR32 stuff. 
The MMC driver. I take it the "gen_atmel_mci.c" driver can be used instead of 
"atmel_mci.c", which uses the legacy MMC API? Can you flip the AVR32 boards to 
the new MMC driver so we can drop the legacy MMC API any soon please?

Thanks!

Sven posted patches [1] some days ago which are almost working. That
series have some timing issues which should be fixed inside the mmc
framework, see [2] for more information on that.

I will rework these patches next days and do some testing. Would be
great to get a comment on [2] from Andy Fleming (as MMC custodian).

regards

Thanks a lot for volunteering.  Please send me your ssh public key so
I can give you write access to the AVR32 repo.

Best regards,

Thanks from my side as well, U-Boot has not been prioritized by me for some
time. And with limited time, it would be good that somebody active keeps an
eye open.
