Can you please split this patch into independent parts, and re-submit
it in a less cryptic format?  Hiding  a  tarball  in  a  file  called
".patch" is not exactly helpful.

Note that I will reject the part of the patch that adds stuff like this:

+# These values intentionally override all other settings e.g. those from 
+# <UBOOT_ROOT>/config.mk
+# <UBOOT_ROOT>/arm_config.mk
+# <UBOOT_ROOT>/cpuarm<cpu id>/config.mk

to some boards. Compiler options in U-Boot shall depend  on  the  CPU
only,  and  all  boards  with  this processor shall use the very same
options. Otherwise we will run into a maintenance nightmare  when  it
comes to toolchain problems.

Best regards,

Wolfgang Denk
