Hi Tiju,

I don't believe the neo1973 project has been accepted into the mainline 
u-boot repository.  You need to use the openmoku sources.
   <http://wiki.openmoko.org/wiki/U-boot>
That page is pretty shy on details on how do do what you asked (starting 
with what version of u-boot to apply the special patches to).

I would suggest your best approach is to ask questions on an 
openmoko-devel list and enhance the wiki page.

Best regards,
