Hello everybody,

please note that I have checked in a patch  to  change  all  '$(...)'
variable references into '${...}'.

In case you did not know: this syntax has been  supported  for  >  18
months.  The  big advantage is that such an environment definition is
compatible with the hush shell, i. e. when you decide to  switch  the
command  line  parser  there  is  no  trouble  with  your environment
definitions.

Note that the old syntax [i. e. '$(...)']  will  be  discontinued  in
later versions of U-Boot. Please use '${...}' instead.

Best regards,

Wolfgang Denk
