Yes, you are right. Sorry for the version mismatch. I was meaning mainline.

I just checked them and they looked ok. Nick is currently upstreaming the GPIO driver which is part of the core requirement too. We will let you
know as soon as it is in. @Hawkins, Nick can you confirm to Jeol, that you are good with the patches he cherry picked an backported ?

We soon have upstream stuff into u-boot mainline for GXP. Can you have a look ?
