Hi Dirk,

Jean-Christophe's patches seem to follow the current U-Boot convention - 
use board/<vendor> when a vendor has multiple boards, and use 
board/<boardname> when a vendor only has 1 board.  I can't speak to the 
accuracy of how he split boards up, but his idea seems correct.

This isn't in line with how U-Boot currently organizes the board/ directory.

Neither is this.  Jean-Christophe seems to be doing the "right" thing 
with his patches and I'd ACK them assuming the boards are put in the 
proper board/<vendor> and board/<boardname> directory.

Best,
Peter
