Hi All,

I've updated my simple message improvement patch per Kim's suggestion 
and reposted.  I've rebased against The Master (u-boot, not Wolfgang ;-).

I believe the u-boot-fdt repo is ready to be pulled and will call for 
Wolfgang to pull it, probably tomorrow morning.  Holler now or squeal 
after the fact.

Missing patches:
* Andy Fleming's patch WRT making sure the blob is in the lower portion
    (16GB at the moment) of memory.  Still being discussed.

* Unpublished patch of mine, implementing a suggestion by Scott Wood to
    make the /chosen handling finer grained: if the /chosen node exists,
    currently u-boot-fdt bails out.  A better methodology is to not
    overwrite pre-existing properties on a per-property basis, so if
    /chosen exists but a necessary /chosen/property doesn't, it gets
    created.  Good idea, but not published and poorly tested at the
    moment.

Best regards,
gvb
