Thanks.

Okay. I've sent the new patches to the list. And also added a branch
to the "u-boot-a38x.git" gitlab repository. You can find a full
working version in this branch now "mvebu-dm-spl-2015-12-14":

https://gitlab.denx.de/sr/u-boot-a38x/commits/mvebu-dm-spl-2015-12-14

Please base your work on top of this branch if possible. Adding
support for your MV78230 should be quite straight forward now.

Just let me know if you have any questions.

@ Dennis:
This branch also includes the latest version for the ClearFog.
Please take a look at it and let me know if it works for you.

Thanks,
Stefan
