[U-Boot] [PATCH] add reboot as a synonym for reset

I tend to reject this change, because I think it is  actually  wrong.
'reboot'  and  'reset' are two different things - the former includes
an ordered shut-down  of  running  services  while  the  latter  just
performs what the name says: a hardware reset.

This is a difference which some may consider small, but I think it is
important enough not to confuse terminology.

Best regards,

Wolfgang Denk
