[U-Boot] question about selecting a stable U-Boot source code package

Dear TigerLiu,

Just use the latest offical release (unless there are specific reasons
not to).

U-Boot provides bug fixes to releases when really needed.  Usually
this is not the case.  Exceptions were v2009.11.1, v2012.04.01, and
v2013.01.01.  IN all other cases, the release is "stable" enough.

But the latest release. v2013.07 also supports it so why would you got
for a version that is already 9 months old?

Just use v2013.07.

Best regards,

Wolfgang Denk
