We still have tons of code should be submitted to mainline, and before the submission, the code should be reviewed and fixed. This is my main task and I think this internal review can reduce you and other kernel maintainer's effort. But our team still have release pressure from customers. The whole distribution including bootloader/toolchain/kernel/uClinux-dist should be delivered to customers on time. If our kernel blackfin-arch are merged eventually, we definitely will move to linus tree and ask our customer to use linus mainline tree. As you know, our latest U-Boot blackfin code is accepted by U-Boot upstream mainline recently. Then the internal U-Boot SVN tree will be replaced by upstream git-blackfin tree in U-Boot, our development will move to that mainline tree. At this moment, I will try my best to speed up the blackfin-arch and drivers merge progress. > If you're not careful, you'll end up submitting patches which revert other > people's fixes.

Apologise. I will resend the blackfin update patch based on other patches. Thanks Andrew -Bryan Wu
