It'd be accepted, sure. However please target meta-fsl-arm-extra as
this is not an official Freescale board.

Well usually I do:

u-boot
kernel
machine config

But you can send those as a serie and we review it. We can than ask
for further changes if need.

I'd prefer if you generate a diff from official u-boot-imx and we
apply it on top of u-boot-imx source. I'd also prefer if you split
official Wandboard patch from your improvements on top of it so it is
clear what come from them and what you have done so far.

You're welcome; thanks by working on that.
