You showed me in a long mail that it's enough of contribution if the
string 'Linux' shows up in the commit log and now you want me to
reference particular commits? That's cool.
Anyway, I don't want to run further into your
barebox-sucks-from-the-community argumentation.
Jean-Christophe, I just reverted the offending commits. Can you please
update the patches to contain credits to U-Boot and Marian
Balakowicz?
