[U-Boot] Porting a freescale sabrelite-like board to master ?

[Thierry Bultel]

Hi,

The board I am working on, is based on the Freescale sabrelite board, 
the manufacturer provides
support for it , as an about 1000 lines patch that applies to 
rel_imx_3.0.35_4.1.0
(3.0.35_4.1.0 is the kernel version I am using)

As that freescale version is too old for me (that is, it does not have 
support for USB or splashscreen),
I would like to use the latest version of mainline u-boot.

I am a little puzzled, when I see that sabrelite support has been 
removed from main, it seems to have been replaced
by the nitrogen board, so my manufacturer patch -badly- applies, 
especially due to the disparition of flash_header.S ...

I quickly found out that attempting a git rebase of rel_imx_3.0.35_4.1.0 
to master was a bad idea, too.

So what would be the easiest and time less costing option to achieve 
what I want to do ?

Best regards
Thierry
