[U-Boot] CREDITS for some old code

[U-Boot] CREDITS for some old code

[Jeremy Andrus]

Hello,

I'm not usually this pedantic, but about 9 years ago I ported the CoLiLo boot loader to the ColdFire MCF5249 platform, and it appears as though some of my code has been assimilated into U-Boot. I recently came across my comments verbatim in the master branch! Please see lines 681-684 and 694-697 of arch/m68k/cpu/mcf52x2/cpu_init.c for an example. The "~Jeremy" is me...

It would be nice to have my name added to the CREDITS file if at all possible:

N: Jeremy C. Andrus
E: jeremy at jeremya.com
D: MCF5249 initialization code

Sorry for the out-of-the-blue request, but you can Google "Jeremy Andrus colilo" for some verification if you want ;-)

Thanks for your consideration,

This has nothing to do with pedantism; your request is perfectly
right.

Indeed.

It appears the respective code was added as commit 8c725b9 "Coldfire
MCF5249 support added" by "stroese" = Stefan Roese.


Stefan, can you please comment and explain where exactly this code has
been derived from?

Can you please submit a patch for this?  Thanks!


Best regards,

Hmmm, nearly 10 years ago... Not easy to remember. Especially since I
changed workplace since then and I don't have access to the development
resources from that time. But from what I do remember, the source is
partly copied from the CoLiLo project. So Jeremy is correct.

Jeremy, I'm sorry that I didn't acknowledge your work while "borrowing"
from your sources. Please send a patch to the list to add yourself to
the CREDITS file.

Thanks.

Best regards,
Stefan Roese
