BBB 1GHz patches for u-boot 2014-01

[Xuebing Wang]

1) We have 2 packages that concerning u-boot:

1a) Crocket
1b) /usr/ports/sysutils/u-boot-beaglebone-eabi

Please note: the patches for u-boot in the above 2 packages are different.

In my humble opinion, I'd think the u-boot patches for the above 2 
packages are better to be identical.

2) My patches to the latest u-boot are against above 1b) 
/usr/ports/sysutils/u-boot-beaglebone-eabi

3) To rule out the sd-card issue is caused by the latest u-boot, would 
you mind to go back to the previous u-boot, and re-run the test?

Replacing u-boot and MLO can be done by something similar below:
scp MLO root at 192.168.1.10:/boot/msdos
scp u-boot.img root at 192.168.1.10:/boot/msdos/BB_UBOOT.IMG

Thanks.
