Yes, I found it, you said:

and Albert replied:

We have built up quite a large number of patches which are currently
sitting in the Chromium tree - something like 200. If we continue to
dribble these out at 10-20 a month it will take a while. Current
mainline U-Boot support for Tegra is pretty basic, but with these
patches it is pretty slick. It would be great to take advantage of the
oppty at the moment to upstream this material. Tegra 30 is already
starting to get into the kernel and I feel U-Boot is behind! We are
the boot loader. We need to be ahead :-)

Simon
