Hi Ricardo,

GPLv3 is a problem because most of u-boot is licensed at GPLv2 (possibly 
with an upgrade clause).  The problem is, GPLv3 is not backward 
compatible with GPLv2 because it adds restrictions.
   <http://www.fsf.org/licensing/licenses/>

If you wish to have this added to u-boot, you will need to change the 
licensing to GPLv2 (note that you can still keep the "any later" upgrade 
clause).
