Ditto: 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.

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).

Best regards,
