Sorry to bring a dead thread to new life...

The issue is not yet solved and I am asking if we can do something for
the incoming release 2012.04. I would prefer we do not add a new switch
CONFIG_UBOOT_IMX into the configuration file, because it is possible to
have the same u-boot image running on different storages, for example on
NAND or NOR, and they have different offsets. This means different
imximage (header), while u-boot itself (binary) remains the same. So
this information should be not interpreted by the compiler.

Rereading the thread a major point is that we must not change the main
Makefile. What about if the changes suggested in the patch are put into
arch/arm/cpu/armv7/config.mk ?

Best regards,
Stefano Babic
