Dear Tom and all,

so basically, i posted a patch with with 1 and 2 together, since 
"amcore" board and m68k generic-board additions was connected.

Alison then added some changes over my generic-board patch.

What is now the correct way to proceed, as m68k custodians ? We need to
wait for feedbacks/ack on the patches or, at what stage could we apply
this patches into the u-boot-coldfire repo ?

Thanks,

Best regards,
