Interesting statement. Let me check again. Your commit: commit aba80a2d2d0f1b25185246925577ce2108247dde Author: Jean-Christophe PLAGNIOL-VILLARD Date: Thu Sep 23 06:48:42 2010 +0200 image: rename IH_CPU to IH_ARCH to be more concistant So BB used to have IH_CPU and switched to IH_ARCH : Please compare against this U-Boot commit: commit b97a2a0a21f279d66de8a9bdbfe21920968bcb1c Author: Marian Balakowicz Date: Tue Jan 8 18:14:09 2008 +0100 [new uImage] Define a API for image handling operations - Add inline helper macros for basic header processing - Move common non inline code common/image.c - Replace direct header access with the API routines - Rename IH_CPU_* to IH_ARCH_* Signed-off-by: Marian Balakowicz Pay special attention to the "Rename IH_CPU_* to IH_ARCH_*" part. Not borrowed? What an extremely unlikely coincidence then!

I recommend you to get a clue about what is needed to properly attribute code to the people who actually wrote it, instead of submitting it without any due reference and then even claiming you developed it yourself. I guess you are not interested in having a reputation as a plagiarist? Despite your ludicrous statement of "not borrowed at all" I still assume, for now, this was just an accident, and that bringing it to your attention is all that is needed to settle the matter. It is your turn now. Thanks.
