[U-Boot] [PATCH] Add support to Colibri PXA-270 board

[Alon Bar-Lev]

Hello,

It was not my intention to add publicity my name, but provide
a solution for users, as it took a lot of work to make it
work without many changes from other implementation.

Any way to do it using a reuse would be super, although
this is not the only duplication in u-boot board tree...

Alon.
