   All Linux MLs prefer patches inline. :-)
   But you seem to paste the patches to the mail edited in some MUA (which does ruin
whitespace). Don't do that, it's better to just attach.

  Cogent has an accout there, I'll try asking the management if it could also be used...

   No, I have arewto say 'cpld write 30 1' in U-Boot before a boot a kernel.
Normally, the V3x Starter Kit boards are wired for the QSPI flash chips.

   Yes. Mind dumping the registers and sending to me?
