[U-Boot] u-boot-atmel and u-boot-at91

[alex]

 Hi:
  Could you tell me the relationship between u-boot-atmel with u-boot-at91? I find a good feature usb gadget on the fork u-boot-at91, and no maintainers long time ago. Do the maintainers of atmel have plan to merge/port this feature to u-boot-atmel?

Best Regards,

u-boot-at91 is older and was maintaiend by Jean-Christophe
Plagniol-Villard some time (around 2008). When avr32 came up another
fork was introduced, maintained by Haavard Skinnemoen. However Atmel
reduced their community effort and some time no one cared about atmel
devices in u-boot at all.
Reinhard Meyer took over as an atmel custodian then and tried to pull
the avr32 related and at91 related stuff into u-boot-atmel.
Somwhere in 2011 he gave up and I took over (first only the avr32 stuff,
then also the at91 stuff).

Can you please point out the concrete patches in u-boot-at91? If you or
some other can provide rebased patches I will accept them.

I had a look into this. There are 2 branches in u-boot-at91, next and
master. The next branch can easily fast forward to current head of
u-boot. The master has 6 patches which can not be found in u-boot.
Namely they are:

* 642390ea5aa958d8d26f7a60b73205ed8f8b6391 'cpuat91: update defaut
   environement'
* 178468eda2bd0f46fde88572ae537eecfac0a6c7 'cpuat91: convert to new
   at91 soc architecture'
* eee62022c3e2ea5a8058b82694194e5782af1d9b 'at91: Enabeling USB host on
   meesc board'
* df702afab71b10a35dd8af0523634360563ab1bb 'at91: Update meesc board to
   new SoC access'
* c94ae0cbb5c0039b155cbdcdd9dda358ae894780 'at91: Defined main clock
   frequency on esd at91 boards'
* e0efbed8399a73bfbedd263398ed73b807ea0ff5 'AT91 Fix: return value of
   get_tbclk'

If one has a closer look he will find each commit (content) in current
u-boot:

Sorry, I can not find a feature in u-boot-at91.git which is not
available in u-boot.git. Can you please point it out?

Wolfgang, can we discuss to hide the u-boot-at91 to stop confusion? It
seems the Custodians page in wiki does not name this repository,
therefore I can't see why we should show the fork to everybody.
