Last time it was proposed, IIRC, it was late in the release cycle and people were worried about breaking other BSPs. I think every BSP which has specific patches on top of U-Boot mainline should handle it on the BSP so I see no reason to keep all those, I am all for updating to 2013.07. As I said, we're using it in meta-fsl-arm for some time. -- Otavio Salvador O.S.
