Subject: Re: [PATCH 0/3] FPGA Manager support for FPP via FT232H FT245-FIFO

Dear all,

DENX Software Engineering develops and brings this driver to mainline on 
behalf of us (ARRI*).

Since there was a lot of discussion around this patch series I would 
highly appreciate if someone could sum up what needs to be changed in 
detail in order to get this driver into the mainline as I am used it 
from the other "line-by-line" reviews. I understood that the approach is 
not generic enough - please correct me if I am wrong on that point. We 
somehow need a commitment that if we change it to another way that the 
whole discussion does not start from scratch.

Many thanks
Eric
