[speaking for Stephen here, and from my understanding so I may have
this a bit wrong]

There are separate from the others, added at Stephen's request so that
the board will not be a brick if someone flashes the wrong binary onto
the board. Stephen's issue is that he wants u-boot.bin to include both
the U-Boot binary and the device tree binary. He created a patch for
this.

http://patchwork.ozlabs.org/patch/145633/

In any case regardless of the resolution of that issue we need to get
some sort of panic message to the user for SPL and device tree
problems.

I agree that these four patches need review before pulling. I have
responded on the other threads.

Regards,
Simon
