Thanks for your patches! They look good, except for a few minor things:

 * Their title should be something like:

    <package name>: <what is happening to them>

   so typically:

    sunxi-boards: bump version, to support the pcDuino board
    sunxi-tools: bump version, to support the pcDuino board

 * The title of your second patch was wrong: it bumps the version of
   sunxi-tools, not sunxi-boards.

 * You should sent your patches with 'git send-email'. You've sent them
   with Evolution, but Evolution has line-wrapped the patches, which
   prevents them from being applied. Also, it will ensure that your
   patches are sent as replies to your cover letter, all automatically.

 * Your patches should have a Signed-off-by line.

See
http://buildroot.org/downloads/manual/manual.html#_contributing_to_buildroot
for more details.

Could you resend a version 2 of your patch series with these minor
issues fixed?

Also, since you're using the pcDuino board, could you submit a simple
defconfig that builds a minimal system for this platform (i.e toolchain
+ bootloader + kernel + minimal rootfs) ?

Thanks!

Thomas
