annoying.  If nothing moves I might just go ahead with those changes and 
simply rip the uImage make target out of the kernel as well.  Maybe the 
inconvenience will be a sufficient incentive for people to lobby proper 
u-Boot support.  And it is not like if the u-Boot patches didn't exist 

Oh, dear.  Any pointers to the discussions on the u-boot side?

Certainly.  Many different threads actually.  Here's a few:

http://news.gmane.org/group/gmane.comp.boot-loaders.u-boot/thread=115774

And this is not the first time this issue has come up:

http://news.gmane.org/group/gmane.linux.ports.arm.kernel/thread=81546/force_load=t/focus=84138

Yet more u-Boot woes:

I'm sure there are others, but that's what I've quickly dug out.

So why are we still supporting uboot in the mainline kernel on ARM?
