    That's a nice toy project, although since there are is an existing
    bootloader with sources, I would have shifted the priority towards
    getting the kernel support merged such that the bootloader can be used
    for something. BTW I sent a few devices to Jonathan, not sure if he
    ever got those...

    I guess you could start splitting the OpenWrt patches into a format
    that makes them suitable for being merged upstream and starting with
    the MIPS parts. There might be a bunch of checkpatch.pl cleanup work
    to do before getting those submitted.
