No.

3. Lots of questions and comments on the actual patch set regarding
the quality of the libc implementation. Which should be fixed,
regardless of centralizing a libc implementation.
    Also questions on the FdtLib itself (why are we wrapping pure
libfdt functions with FluffyIdentifierNames and SCARY_TYPEDEFS?).
    I also sent out an RFC for a central libc for GCC/clang based
toolchains, which should cover the libc usage of libfdt. Asked for
testing, got ignored.

So a NAK from me, in its current state.
