The Subject: (which is way too long, btw.) does not match the content
of this patch.


I'm not sure if it is a good idea to change the board specific
README's. For example, board/LEOX/elpt860/README.LEOX shows

	U-Boot 0.2.2 ...
	...
	Net:   SCC ETHERNET

For this specific version, the string was correct. Changing it is
technically not correct.

Best regards,

Wolfgang Denk
