It has been pointed out (see [1]) that the files

	board/qi/qi_lb60/qi_lb60.c
	include/configs/qi_lb60.h

added by this patch are licensed as GPL "version 3 of the License, or
(at your option) any later version" - however, thisis incompatible
with the GPLv2 and GPLv2+ licenses that cover the rest of U-Boot.

Would you be willing to re-license these files under GPLv2+ (and
submit apatch to do that) ?  Otherwise we would probably be forced to
remove the qi_lb60 board support to be legally clean.

Sorry for the inconvenience, but obviously this issue slipped through
at the initial review of the code...
