Two days is the last deadline :)

Code actively used in owrt firmware and its forks.

As for me, I do not like such flapping, but you have a final say in
this discussion as a maintainer.

Recent activity always could be found in [1]. Now I finish another one
round of cleanups and have a plan to fix several things (you can
always find something that you really want to improve). But if you
insist I could immediately switch to "send upstream" mode. And seems
that this would be better approach.

Work in progress, I don't stop it. Just work is progressing slower
than I had planned. I am already cleanup the code (mostly checkpatch
errors and warnings) and send patches to OpenWRT tree. Further I plan
to simplify initialization and I will be ready to send patches
upstream.

I need a couple of weeks for this. Is its reasonable time to not make
a mess of remove/add commits?

 Hi,
 my current target was to provide barebox and openocd support.
 - ar2313 is already upstream on barebox.
 - ar2315-2318 (barebox) awaiting review by Anthony Pavlov.
 - openocd (EJTAG) support is ready and i'll push it ASUP.

 I hope Jonathan do kernel part. If not, i can provide some work, since i
 have testing boards and expiriance on this hardware.

John, can you delay the merging of this patch for a few months, I will
try to prepare the necessary patches to add AR231x architecture to the
kernel and send them to linux-mips.
