  Okay.

 Okay, thanks much for the info.

  Not sure what patches these are or where to find them.  Also not
sure what source to apply these patches to.  Is it the latest on
denx.de or the ltib sources?  Not sure what rev of the processor I
have, my bootup log is here http://www.efn.org/~rick/pub/imx51.log
although  I don't see any T01, T02, etc printing.

  I gues it would be nice if there were some instructions for getting
up to date on the latest u-boot for the iMX51 eval board.  I'd be
happy to help put together a set.

  Thanks very much for the help.
