Just fyi, Jean-Christophe wanted to point you to

http://lists.denx.de/pipermail/u-boot/2008-September/040553.html

Some background/history info (please correct me if I'm wrong):

In contrast to statement in above cited procedure, I'm not sure if 
"The mach-types.h will be sync with the kernel on each kernel's 
release" is/was ever done:

http://git.denx.de/?p=u-boot.git;a=history;f=include/asm-arm/mach-types.h;h=ce6d25f9e12b7b614a2d3ff7a3aa249b127fc987;hb=HEAD

The first sync request we got ~mid November 2008 then

http://lists.denx.de/pipermail/u-boot/2008-November/043433.html

which was never answered at list nor handled.

Then there was an attempt to update mach-types ~end of january 2009

http://lists.denx.de/pipermail/u-boot/2009-January/045856.html

which unfortunately failed due to mix with other changes.

I really hope we will get a mach-types update this merge window and 
then regularly.

Sounds like we are talking about OMAP_ZOOM2 ;)

Best regards

Dirk
