v2014.10 is getting closer with the release of -rc2. It would be much
better to get mx31pdk fixed for this release. Helmut, can you send a
patch for the 'b reset' issue? If not, do you agree that someone else
(maybe the board maintainer: Magnus?) sends it with a 'Reported-by:
Helmut Raiger <helmut.raiger at hale.at>'?

Best regards,
Benoît
