This changes were being done in every version of U-Boot and it makes sense to try to merge them upstream.
Please review them and ack/nack them.

Reviewed-by Fabio Estevam <[email protected]>We aren't breaking compat with other distros, are we? In TI-land where (for better or worse) we often have a FAT partition we're dealing with too, we use (and can have OE spit out) a uEnv.txt file that's user-editable and imported to the environment that would update these variables. I suspect there's not an easy analog here but I thought I'd bring it up.

We've not used uEnv.txt files for this in Freescale's Yocto support but patched the U-Boot source code to make it work out of box. I think these patches could go in now that Freescale is using Yocto more extensivelly for ARM platforms so we avoid same patches to be ported for every new U-Boot release.
Right well and good. But part of the reason we use it here is that meta-various-ti-things may use a different layout from meta-community-oriented-distro and this lets us handle both with just a tweak in the various-ti-things layer to add a text file. Again, may not apply here and that's fine. Heck, we're trying to move more towards always just using the community layout.
