[U-Boot] proper file encoding

[Mike Frysinger]

is there any statements that i cannot find dictating the proper encoding of 
files ?  considering git itself whines when things are not proper utf8 
encoded, i'd expect that this would carry over to the files in u-boot itself.  
for example, the MAINTAINERS and the CREDITS files are both using iso-8859-1 
encoding.  this can readily be seen with people who have umlauts in their 
names, although some places have been avoided by using the ASCII form of "oe" 
and "ue" rather than ö and ü.  i'd certainly prefer if we take a hard stance 
on documentation and similar files by requiring unicode encoding.  i'd prefer 
all files be unicode, but i wouldnt care nearly as much with source code 
(comments and such).

at any rate, it's easy enough to fix:
iconv -f iso-8859-1 -t utf8 MAINTAINERS > f && mv f MAINTAINERS
iconv -f iso-8859-1 -t utf8 CREDITS > f && mv f CREDITS
... and probably some more files ...

as for why i care: it's a lot easier to copy & paste contact information from 
these files when creating commit messages if i didnt have to manually fix the 
broken encoding ...
