[U-Boot] [PATCH v10 0/4] Adds support for Exynos5422 odroid xu3 board

Hi All,

In Tizen mainline u-boot, CONFIG_ENV_OFFSET have already been fixed to 
SZ_1K * 3136 from SZ_1K * 1280.
It looks good to change CONFIG_ENV_OFFSET also in u-boot mainline to use 
the same offset with Tizen u-boot.

How about your opinion?

Best Regards,
Inha Song.
