Still one question. You respectively DENX generate and provide a DULG
for INCA-IP [1]. Does it serve as reference for the MIPS ELDK? When
yes may I suggest to replace it with Malta board? Malta is the only
platform which is concurrently supported in mainline kernel and U-Boot
and it is also supported by Qemu.
