not that I really like enabling this by default, but this patch doesn't
do what you say it does in this last paragraph here (that I can see at
least).  Can you either rm this paragraph (preferred :) or actually add
BOOTCOUNT_LIMIT to the board's config?  Btw, what's the rationale for
enabling this by default, and for this board?

Thank you Heiko,

Kim
