Hello Tom,

what is happening with this patch series?

[U-Boot,5/5] examples: add fallback memcpy
https://patchwork.ozlabs.org/patch/800030/
[U-Boot,4/5] vsprintf.c: add GUID printing
https://patchwork.ozlabs.org/patch/800029/
[U-Boot,3/5] vsprintf.c: add UTF-16 string (%ls) support
https://patchwork.ozlabs.org/patch/800027/
[U-Boot,2/5] lib: add some utf16 handling helpers
https://patchwork.ozlabs.org/patch/800028/
[U-Boot,1/5] Kconfig: add option to build with -fshort-wchar
https://patchwork.ozlabs.org/patch/800026/

Was it too late for 2017.09 and will be merged with 2017.11?

Best regards

Heinrich
