[U-Boot] i.MX6: mx6qsabrelite: allow use with Freescale 2.6.38 kernels

Dear Eric Nelson,

It definitely is old - Linux mainline has seen 50240 commits
since v2.6.38, with 3243564 lines added and 2329522 removed.

You probably do not want to consider it obsolete yet...  I do. YMMV.

The problem is that these changes will cause additional maintenance
efforts in the future.  I think we have reached a point in time where
new boards that get added should only add support for DT baed
configurations, and get rid of this MACH_ID crap.  Just look at the
number of recent board breakages and need of fixes just because IDs
get dropped from the mach_id database.

I feel efforts would be better invested if they were directed in
improving current mainline kernel code.

Best regards,

Wolfgang Denk
